Workshops

CANCELLED

We’ll create 2-4 pumpkins with a lightweight concrete mix that can handle the elements of the outdoors and last many years. The number of pumpkins you create will depend on the size you make them.

📅 Date: [Saturday, August 31, 2024] & [Sunday, September 1, 2024]
🕒 Time: [2:00 pm]

This is a 2-part workshop held on 2 days. Part 1 (Saturday, August 31 at 2 pm) will consist of creating the size and shape of your pumpkins (allow 2 hours).

Part 2 (24 hours later) (Sunday, September 1 at 2 pm) will be removing the substrate and attaching the stem and then you can take them home. I don’t expect part 2 to take longer than 30-45 minutes.

It takes 28 days for the pumpkins to fully cure. At that time you can decorate to your heart’s desire or you may sign up for our workshop to decorate your pumpkins with dried florals as shown in the image with the wooden box on September 5th.

This is a messy project and I recommend wearing old clothes and shoes. We will be standing for the majority of the time but chairs will be available if you need to sit.  Weather permitting we will also be outside so please dress appropriately for the temperature.

Feel free to bring a beverage of your choice. We’ll be wearing gloves and recommend leaving any rings at home that may tear the gloves.

The deadline to register is 24 hours before the workshop starts. The workshop is limited to 10 participants.

Here are just a few ways that the pumpkins can be decorated after they are fully cured:
