Build Your Own Goblet Pottery Class + Social
Raise a goblet of your very own creation!
Join us for a special 2.5-hour hands-on class led by @nici_pottery, where you’ll learn how to hand-build your own clay goblet, just in time for Ren Faire season! During the workshop, you’ll shape and design your piece, and we’ll take care of the firing, glazing, and finishing. All materials will be provided for the class, just make sure your wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
Then, on Sunday, Oct. 5th, all participants are invited to Guildhouse’s 1st ever art show, “Secret Level Gallery” for private, early access and to pick up your completed Goblets with complimentary mead, served in your new vessel.
Come for the craft, stay for the camaraderie, and leave with a goblet worthy of a king or queen!
