Create a charming ceramic house that glows from within! In this hand-building workshop, you'll learn how to construct walls, windows, and architectural details while transforming clay into a functional lantern. Inspired by the miniature porcelain "tea-light cottages" popular in Victorian Europe and the enduring symbolism of home found across cultures, your finished piece will cast a warm, welcoming glow and add a touch of handmade magic to any space.

Whether used for your morning coffee or displayed as a work of art, your vessel will celebrate the timeless relationship between craftsmanship and daily life.

Transform a simple slab of clay into a stunning serving platter using the centuries-old technique of sgraffito. From ancient Greek pottery to Italian Renaissance ceramics, artists have used this decorative carving method to reveal intricate patterns beneath the surface. You'll learn how to layer colored slips, carve your own designs, and create a one-of-a-kind platter that is equally beautiful on the table or displayed on the wall.
