Pottery Demos & Kids' "Make It & Take It" Projects

Local potters Sharon Galbraith, Dana Drake and Connie Rose will help with two "Make It & Take It" projects for kids:

• Kids make a tiny bowl on the pottery wheel, which they take home to let dry and decorate with paint.
• Kids decorate a hand-thrown cup by forming a face in it with their fingers, which they take home to let dry and decorate with paint.

PLEASE NOTE - These kids' "Make It & Take It" projects are for decorative use only -- not for food or drink. (Small supply fee per project)
