Looking for a unique fall date night or a creative evening out with a friend? Slow down, get creative, and celebrate the season with a hands-on pottery experience designed for two. This 21+ workshop invites you to relax, sip, and create side by side—participants are welcome to bring an alcoholic beverage to enjoy responsibly during class.

Led by master potter Tom Daly, pre-thrown lantern forms, carving tools, and stencils are provided so you can focus on creativity, connection, and enjoying the process together. Choose your glaze color, enjoy a seasonal treat from Headwaters, and return later to pick up your finished lantern—fired, glazed, and ready to cast a warm, enchanting glow throughout the fall season.

No pottery experience is necessary. Cost includes admission for two participants.
