Ceramic and Candle Workshop

Join Jenelle from MakeJoy Creative and Courtney from Celyse Studio for a one-of-a-kind creative workshop at Auric Gallery on Saturday, April 13th from 12-2 PM for a workshop fee of $100.

Using marbled-colored clay and hand-building techniques, Jenelle will guide you through the process of creating unique and personalized ceramic candle holders. Courtney will then lead you through the art of hand painting your own tapered candle sticks. Set in the beautiful gallery space of Auric Gallery amongst local artists' artwork, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow creatives and explore your artistic side.

All tools and materials needed to complete both creative projects are included in the workshop fee. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are. Join us at Auric Gallery and discover the joy of making for yourself!
