🎄 Gifts from Your Heart & Hands: Pine Needle Basket Workshop 🎄

There’s something truly special about creating a handmade gift while sharing time with friends. This holiday season, join us for a unique two-part workshop where you'll transform clay and natural pine needles into a beautiful handcrafted basket that will be treasured for years to come.

Working alongside the talented artists from MHC Pottery and Michelle from Eastern Redbud Glass,  you'll create a one-of-a-kind piece that blends ceramic artistry with traditional basket weaving techniques. Whether you're making it as a heartfelt gift or keeping it for yourself, this charming basket will add warmth, texture, and beauty to any home.

✨ Part 1: Create Your Ceramic Basket Base

• Hand-build the ceramic base of your basket using stoneware clay
• Explore a variety of texture tools to create your own unique design
