Sculpting Clay Pumpkin Luminaries: Sat, Oct 8, 10:30 am-12 pm. Make a festive pumpkin decoration that can be enjoyed for many years. Use an orange terra-cotta clay to sculpt cute little pumpkin creations designed to safely hold a candle and light up your seasonal displays. Folks can choose to craft a more realistic pumpkin or have a go at creating a fantastic pumpkin creation from their imagination. Pieces will be fired and glazed by artistry and then returned 2-3 weeks after the event. Ages 6+. Registration required. Funded by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
