Bring your cooking buddies to Laumeier’s clay studio for an evening of creativity and fun! Learn how to design and build a unique spoon rest that is perfect for a messy night of cooking. Throughout the evening, participants will also be invited to take turns on the wheel to create a bonus spoon rest while experimenting with colorful slips and fun spiral designs. Bring your own wine (or other beverage of your choice); light snacks provided. Pick up your finished piece the following week.
