Event Overview

The holidays will certainly look different this year, but don't let that disrupt your family and friend bonding time.  While we may not be rushing off to each other's houses, we are still craving the time together. Invite Heather to your private virtual table, and she will quickly get you busy on a seasonally-inspired project. Create memories wherever you are!  


This experience is designed for mixed-age and ability groups; each creative activity can be enjoyed with friends or family, at your location of choice. Most projects are clay-based; several include multimedia components. Appropriate for all ages, let us know who's in your group and the experience will be tailored to suit you. Can be fun to do with friends or co-workers as well.  


Each activity includes a kit which will be provided in advance of the workshop.  Reserve your spot early! (options to pick up your kit locally in Chicago, or have it shipped in advance)  Access will be provided to a limited number of screens for your private group, so that you can 'invite' your loved ones to join you across the miles. Supplies will be enough for at least 4 complete projects; extra kits available for purchase if needed.  


Available theme kits:
1. Ornaments
2. Snowman Parade
3. Geometric Decor
4. Plant Babies
5. Things on Strings
6. Face Planters
7. Fancy Coil Pots


Virtual Holiday Sessions with air-dry clay will run on the following dates.
Times vary; for alternate hours or dates please contact me.
Booking note: online registration closes 15 days prior to each event, to allow time for kits to be assembled and shipped/picked up. Contact me for expedited options, or assistance with booking. 
In some cases, I'll be able to provide online resources to order your own supplies or extra materials.
Events will run about an hour; expect to do parts of the project together, and then finish on your own as needed.
