No prior fishing experience needed – we start at the very beginning and guide every step.

Join us for a delightful creative adventure as you sculpt your very own gnome companion. Will yours be a wise woodland guardian, a mischievous mushroom dweller, a flower-loving garden sprite, or an eccentric fellow with an outrageously tall hat? The choice is entirely yours.

Week One: Gnome Creation Day
You’ll learn simple handbuilding and sculpting techniques while adding facial expressions, textures, accessories, and whimsical details.

Your creation will then stay behind at the studio to dry and journey through the kiln.

Week Two: Bringing Your Gnome to Life
Return to paint and glaze your fired gnome, choosing colours and magical finishing touches that make it uniquely yours. After a final firing, your gnome will be ready to take up residence in a garden, on a bookshelf, or wherever a little enchantment is needed.

No clay experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and a willingness to get your hands delightfully muddy.
