Jack-o-Lantern Workshop

Teacher: Sarah Gilbert

Celebrate the season by making your own ceramic jack-o-lantern! In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll use pinch pot techniques to create a pumpkin form, then carve a face or design of your choice. No prior clay experience is needed — just bring your spooky (or silly!) ideas.

Session – Sat, Oct 18th, 4:30–6:30 pm:

Sarah will guide you through the pinch pot method to form your pumpkin, then show you how to carve features to give it personality. Add cutouts, patterns, or a classic grin — the design is up to you.

After class, Firebrick Pottery will finish your piece with a clear glaze and firing so it’s ready to display with a candle or light inside.
