Pottery at the Beach: Sculpting Sharks

Come enjoy a class of mindful creation on the beach!

Enjoy a relaxing, creative session where you'll learn how to sculpt small sharks from a ball of stoneware clay while listening to the calming sounds of the ocean. We'll search for shells together to create texture, incorporate saltwater into the clay, and make some new friends under the sun.

Led by staff member Gabby from The Cozy Bookwyrm, you'll receive patient, step-by-step instructions on how to make your own little aquatic buddy using various hand-building techniques. No clay experience necessary! (And if you wish to sculpt something different than the theme, you are welcome to! The sharks will be about palm-sized.)
