Clay Pumpkin Patch
Hands-on ceramic workshop to carve a leather-hard clay pumpkin and have it fired into a permanent jack-o’-lantern.
Age Level: All Ages
Experience Level: All Levels
Come pick your own ceramic pumpkin and then carve it into a jack-o’-lantern!
Hollow clay pumpkin forms are individually handmade by one of our teaching artists for you to come and carve – just like a real pumpkin! They will be in the “leather-hard” state, meaning that they are firm to the touch, yet soft enough to be carved with a knife. After being carved, the pumpkin will be dried and fired in our kiln to almost 2000 degrees. When you pick it up two weeks later, it will be a permanent jack-o’-lantern, safe for inside and outside use.
