So much cuteness coming out of the Clay Studio this week.

Our Miniature Animals beginner’s class has been busy underglazing tiny pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, birds, and more. These in-process pieces are already full of personality, and we cannot wait to see them finished.

Missed this round? Good news: this class will be held again on Saturday, April 25. It is a great beginner-friendly class for anyone who wants to make something playful, creative, and adorable.
