In the first session from 10am 3pm with an hour lunch break, we will be making a small fairy house or mushroom house out of clay. We will then attach the house to a planter/bowl we make. The piece will then be dried slowly and fired in the kiln. In the second session the participant will bring their own dirt, small plants, pebbles and other items to create the fairy house planter scene.
