Tips & Advice

  • Choose whether you want to glaze the tree yourself or have studio staff apply your selected glaze, since the workshop includes either option.
  • Plan a return visit during a Glaze Open Studio session if you want to finish the piece yourself; that session is included.
  • If returning is inconvenient, select a glaze during the workshop and let studio staff handle the glazing for you.
  • Consider where you might display the finished tree—on a mantel, table, or windowsill—when adding your personal decorative details.
  • Set aside the full workshop session for rolling and shaping clay, carving openings, and adding details to your tree.
