*Workshop held at TNL Annex, 713 Pearl *
Slow down, unwind, and embrace the warmth of the season with a cozy, candlelit evening of ceramics at The New Local.
Surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight, enjoy a relaxing, hands-on experience creating your own one-of-a-kind ceramic candle vessel. Guided by local ceramic artist Bridget Dorr, you'll explore hand-building techniques to shape and personalize a beautiful, functional piece designed to hold a hand-poured candle.
Once your vessel has been glazed and fired, it will be filled with a hand-poured candle, transforming your handmade creation into something beautiful to enjoy at home or give as a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift.
Whether you're new to ceramics or have worked with clay before, this workshop is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of the season, connect with others, and enjoy a little creative time for yourself.
