Family Winter Clay Workshop: Sculpt a Clay Snowman

Participants begin with a short look at Victorian snowman-making traditions before sculpting their own unique clay snowman using pinch-pot methods. The tutor demonstrates step-by-step techniques to construct the body, head, and decorative details like hats, scarves, and carrot noses. Visitors then finish their creations with brush-on glazes, which are kiln-fired for later collection.
