Come visit Chu Chu Chinatown and create magical tealight mini houses complete with windows and doors to let the light shine through. Or make a closed house with an open chimney for incense cones! This is a great introduction into slab pottery where we’ll use custom templates for the wall build, texture rollers and sculpt details.
