Firecracker Pinch Pots — Pinch, Pop, Glaze!
Get ready to get a little explosive with clay—literally. In two fast, fun sessions you'll hand-build tiny pinch pots, take them outside for a supervised firecracker imprint that leaves wild, one-of-a-kind textures, then after they are bisqued, return the next week to glaze them into finished keepsakes. No experience required—just curiosity and a sense of adventure. $35 covers both sessions, all materials, kilns, and the guided chaos. Limited spots—reserve yours before they’re blown away.
