SUMMARY:Oktoberfest Steins
DESCRIPTION:Your instructor will lead you in making hand-built steins using the slab construction method. Carve\, stamp\, and appliqué your steins to create 3D designs. Then\, customize your finish by painting it with underglazes! Your stein will be foodsafe\, dishwasher safe\, and microwave safe. Perfect for any beverage! Please take a photograph of your stein at the end of the workshop to help you identify it at pickup. Sometimes colours change and things can look a bit different when they come out of the kiln.Your Stein will not be ready by the end of Oktoberfest. The thick steins require a longer drying time before firing.Getting to the Workshop:Please note\, the gallery will already be closed at the start of the workshop.
