What to Expect and Details
When you arrive at the studio, you’ll be greeted with all materials prepared and ready for your creative journey. Our instructors encourage participants to let their imaginations run wild—whether you’re drawn to creating a traditionally spooky jack-o’-lantern with a menacing grin or a silly character with a personality all its own. Throughout the session, you’ll receive guidance on techniques for adding expressive features, creating texture, and ensuring your piece will fire successfully. The supportive, non-judgmental environment makes this an ideal activity for friends, couples, or even as a unique solo adventure for those looking to try something new in the neighborhood.
After completing your masterpiece, our team will carefully dry, fire, and glaze your creation—a process that takes approximately 4-5 weeks. This timeline means your finished jack-o’-lantern will be ready just in time for the Halloween display! We’ll notify you when your spooky sculpture is ready for pickup, allowing plenty of time to incorporate it into your seasonal décor. It’s important to note that spaces for this popular class are extremely limited, and sessions tend to fill up quickly. We strongly recommend securing your spot early to avoid disappointment. Many past participants have made this class an annual tradition, returning year after year to expand their collection of handcrafted Halloween decorations.
