Tell your friends too!

We'll Read: Bear Stays Up for Christmas by Karma Wilson & Jane Chapman
We'll Paint: 2 Ornaments
It's the day before Christmas, and Bear's friends have gathered in his lair to wake him up to celebrate the holiday. They get a tree, pop corn, bake fruitcake, hang stockings, and hum songs. The others doze off, but Bear keeps busy wrapping presents, baking cookies, and decorating, unaware that a certain plump, red-suited gentleman is watching from outside the cave.
Monday Dec. 17th or Thursday, Dec. 20th
We'll Read: Benny, by Sieb Posthuma
We'll Paint: Dog Collectible
Benny has lost his favorite bone. Normally, he'd find it with the help of his trusty nose, but his snout is out of commission. Sharp-eyed children will notice that he has a runny nose and will sympathize with the pooch with the common cold… then they can paint their own pup.
NOTE: Due to the 5-day turnaround required to fire your ceramics, pups painted on Dec. 20th are not promised to be fired in time for Christmas."
We went to two of these over the summer and they were great fun! As of today they still have spaces available!
They also have classes for older kids:
Holiday Classes

Join us for our 5th annual Secret Workshop! Drop off the kids (ages 7 and up) so they can make you a surprise gift! Our Crackpot elves will help your child create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that you'll cherish forever! (And maybe you can get some gift-wrapping done yourself!)
This 2-hour workshop includes:
Yummy pizza and treats to feed our creativity!
Painting, glazing & firing of one piece of pottery from a selection of great gift items.
Ideas and direction from our staff of Crackpot elves.
All materials to make giftwrap and a card for their gift.
Our elves will wrap the gifts in the kids' very own handmade giftwrap so when you pick up their masterpieces (1 week later), the secret gift is safe inside and ready to put under the tree!
TIP: Please make sure kids know in advance of class who will be the lucky recipient of their creative Crackpot gift!
