Take pottery classes at The FORD Studios.

During this class, students will hand-build two gnome figurines, ranging in size from 6" to 10" depending on each student's artistic choices.  You will learn step-by-step while making the first gnome, and then you make your own gnome more independently, with assistance available, if needed.   Finished Gnomes will be glazed in your choice of Gardenia (white), Bluebell (blue - pictured), Sage (green - pictured) & Lavender (grayish purple).  

The pieces you make will be for pickup on or around Friday, May 3rd.

Only available for private classes & classes listed below at this time.
