Witch Hat Candle Holder: Handbuilding with Clay
Get into the Halloween spirit with this fun two-day clay project! Participants will handbuild their own whimsical witch hat candle holder using clay, learning basic handbuilding techniques to shape, texture, and create a unique piece.

Day 1 – Handbuilding: Create and sculpt your witch hat candle holder using clay. Add your own details and personality to make it one-of-a-kind.

Day 2 – Glazing: Once your pieces have been fired, return to glaze your candle holder and choose colors that bring your witch hat to life.

No prior clay experience is necessary. All materials and instructions are included.

Participants will create a functional, festive piece they can enjoy as part of their Halloween décor.

Please note: There will be a gap between Day 1 and Day 2 to allow pieces to be fired in the kiln.
