         MAKING BIRDHOUSES

           with Pam Gray

Date:     January 17, 2026

Time:     10 am - 3 pm

Location:  Virginia Wesleyan Univ


Workshop Description

​

All levels - beginner to advanced

​

In this workshop Pam will demonstrate how she makes her beautiful birdhouses. She uses slab construction with soft leather hard clay. Pam has templates which she will share with the attendees. She will discuss decorating the slabs, beveling the edges, and putting the pieces together. Pam will discuss firing the finished piece and staining or glazing.

Attendees will be asked to bring a large slab of clay ready to be cut for use. Dimensions for the slab will be sent ahead of time. After the demonstration, attendees will cut their slabs, add decoration, then construct their birdhouses. The finished birdhouse will be 12 inches high with a 5 inch wide base. 

This is a hands-on workshop that will help teach slab construction skills. The template will produce a large birdhouse, but it can be modified to make smaller items such as lanterns and bird feeders.
