The Sugar Skull Glaze and Pottery Workshop at Smith's Nursery is a hands-on crafting event where participants decorate their own ceramic sugar skull. Led by ClayBird Pottery of Clayton, the session teaches you how to apply colorful glazes to a pre-made pottery piece. To participate, you will need to register in advance for the one-hour Friday evening session. The workshop costs $43 per person and takes place at the nursery on Sanders Road in Raleigh. This workshop makes a great weekend pick because it combines a seasonal craft project with a visit to a local nursery. You get to learn a new skill from a local pottery studio and take home a custom decoration for autumn.
