Christmas Luminary Workshop, Friday, November 15th at 5pm: Christmas Nativity Luminary Workshop with @freewheelinpottery
Each attendee (artist) will receive a lump of clay and all the tools required to hand build the nativity luminary pictured. Emma from Free Wheelin Pottery will walk the artist through each step! After the nativity is completed, the artists can choose the color they would like for the nativity to be after they’ve been fired.
The luminaries will then need to dry completely for a few days. After they are dried, Emma will dip the luminaries in the glaze color the artist chose and fire them. They will be returned to The Farmers Daughter and available for pick up within 2 weeks from the workshop event.

Admission includes a keepsake ornament, a take home photo of your child with Santa, and a digital copy emailed to their parents. Please reply on the event page, if you are going to attend.
