Make the Fall season festive by joining Julie Zetina for her Ceramic Pumpkin Two Day Workshop on Tuesdays, September 10, 6-9 p.m. and October 1, 6-8 p.m. With Julie’s guidance no experience is necessary.

On the first night, you will receive a wheel-thrown form that you will alter and sculpt into a pumpkin. The forms may slightly vary in sizes due to the throwing process. You will also be creating a custom ceramic lid with a stem, leaves and vines. All work will be left to dry, then bisque-fired off site.

On the second night, you will glaze your pumpkin. Julie will give you options of glaze from which to choose. You can make your glazes as simple or as decked out as you like. Your pumpkin will be refired in Julie’s kiln and returned to the art center for pickup just in time to celebrate Fall. Pickup time will be announced during the workshop.

The workshop fee is $75/person. Hollister residents will receive a 50% discount ($37.50) thanks to a generous grant from the City of Hollister Parks and Recreation Department. Hollister residents make sure to put the word “Hollister” in the coupon code box at checkout when you buy your tickets, to secure the discount. The fee is non-refundable but may be transferred to someone else, if you are unable to make the dates.
