Create a colorful set of ceramic garden markers in this beginner-friendly clay workshop 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. May 10. Participants will turn a slab of clay into unique plant signs made just in time for summer planting.

Participants will use plants and leaves to create beautiful details. Then, use underglaze to add pops of color to their creations. Participants can plan on making up to eight garden markers. Your pieces will be glazed, fired, and returned at a later date.
