Local artist Karen Nickels will guide you step-by-step through sculpting your very own adorable air-dry clay goat to take home. No artistic experience is needed. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to get a little messy. While you create, settle in and enjoy a gourmet grazing platter and our Mimosa Tree, with everything you need for a relaxed afternoon of good food, bubbles, laughter and creativity.
