What's a Goo? A Goo is a cute, curious little being inspired by the world of Melissa’s ceramic Goo family.

Make your own ceramic Goo while learning hand-building basics!

During this fun workshop, Melissa will guide you through pinching and coiling, score and slip. You'll also learn surface decoration techniques via glazing by dipping and painting. 

Please note, your Goos will be ready to pick up in 1-2 weeks after the second session, when the kiln firing is complete. POST staff will call when the projects are ready for pick up. We are also happy to ship.
