Ceramic
Gingerbread House Course

The start of the 6:30 PM run of Hintonburg Pottery's three-week Ceramic Gingerbread House course. The course covers slab-building sturdy walls and roofs, carving and sculpting custom architectural details, and slip-trailing, the ceramic version of piping royal icing. The schedule lists Thursdays at 6:30 PM but gives Nov. 25 as the start, which falls on a Wednesday. Nov. 25 is used here as the apparently intended start date, and confirming the schedule directly with the organiser is recommended. The three-week course continues with weekly meetings on Dec. 2 and Dec. 9. Because of the multi-week clay drying, firing, and glazing process, houses made in these added sessions will not be ready for Christmas and are intended for future holidays. All abilities are welcome, with a minimum age of 5. Seats are limited and can be booked through the studio's booking link.
