Sip 'n Sculpt: Make a Clay Jack-o-Lantern!

Join professional potter Rachel Normington for a festive and creative evening of clay at Heart Studio in Windham, NH. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with wine, snacks, and good company while creating your own handcrafted ceramic jack-o’-lantern.
Each participant will begin with a wheel-thrown 6-inch hollow clay form, professionally prepared by Rachel and ready to be transformed. You’ll learn sculpting and carving techniques as you shape your pumpkin, add textures and decorative details, and create a unique jack-o’-lantern face. A candle opening will be added so your finished piece can glow beautifully throughout the fall season.
Whether you prefer spooky, whimsical, traditional, or completely one-of-a-kind, you’ll have the freedom to customize your pumpkin and make it truly your own.
Once your design is complete, you’ll select from a collection of glaze colors, and Rachel will professionally finish, glaze, and fire your piece. Your completed pumpkin will be ceramic-safe for a candle, and ready for pickup approximately two weeks after the workshop.
Workshop Includes:
One wheel-thrown clay pumpkin form per person
All clay, tools, materials, glazing, and firing
Professional instruction from Rachel Normington
Wine and light snacks (BYOB welcome)
Please Note: This is consistently one of my most popular seasonal workshops, and spaces tend to fill quickly, so early registration is recommended.
Come spend an evening creating a beautiful handmade decoration that you’ll enjoy for many autumns to come—or give as a thoughtful handmade gift!
