Smoke in the Chimney

Build a charming miniature clay gingerbread house that doubles as a functional incense burner. During this hands-on afternoon workshop, you'll roll, shape, and assemble tiny ceramic structures, then add decorative details like piped icing, candy windows, wreaths, and small doors. No prior clay experience is needed—the studio provides templates, tools, and guidance to help your creation stay standing. The fee of $52 covers all materials needed to complete one house and includes your choice of six incense cones. Here's the creative part: after you finish building, your piece goes into the kiln for two weeks to dry and fire. You'll return for a second session to paint your finished gingerbread house, transforming it into a fully decorated home. Once complete, simply place an incense cone inside and enjoy the smoke rising from the chimney. This is a perfect project for families who enjoy creative activities and don't mind working in two stages to see the final result.
