At Mud & Maker, this two-hour workshop invites participants to create a spooky-themed ceramic house using slab-building techniques. Design a one-of-a-kind piece with playful or eerie touches like tilted chimneys, spectral windows, webs, pumpkins, and headstones. Instruction covers the essentials of clay work, including slab construction and sculpting, and explains how to assemble a sturdy structure while adding decorative details. The class is beginner friendly, also welcoming to those with experience, and is suggested for ages 10 and up with flexibility. All supplies are included, from clay and tools to glazes, and kiln firing for the finished work. The session focuses on building your house, and a separate glazing visit will be scheduled during the workshop. Projects are fired after the build, so pieces remain at the studio and participants return to glaze them before taking them home.
