Intermediate Class - Pumpkin Making

Ready to take your skills up a notch? Join our Intermediate Pumpkin Making Class! In this class, you’ll learn how to create festive pumpkins on the wheel, but keep in mind—it’s designed for potters who can already throw and shape a cylinder. If you’re confident with these skills, you’ll be all set to craft some beautiful fall decorations!
