**Come create with Madalyn Olsen from the Vermont Arts Exchange, at the Solomon Wright Public Library! In this hands-on workshop, you'll use air-dry clay to create a spooky-cute tealight holder, inspired by friendly ghosts, patterned moths, jack-o'-lanterns, or your own charming seasonal design.

You'll learn simple hand-building, shaping, cutout, and texturing techniques, then personalize your tealight holder with your own creative details. No clay experience is needed; beginners are welcome. Come ready to make, experiment, and enjoy a relaxed, creative session. Please note: Finished pieces will need 72 hours to dry fully but will be safe to take home. They can be painted after drying fully.

The workshop is free and open to all ages, but you need to register! Email or call Emily at [email protected] or 802-823-5400 to sign up.
