Calling all birders! Take a break from birdwatching and get ready to tick off clay-bird-sculpting on your life list. We might not be able to take home a kingfisher but creating your very own miniature bird effigy can offer incredible emotional relief and be a memorable keepsake. Whether you use a bird of prey, heron, woodpecker, sparrow, finch, swan, blackbird, jay, or any other usual suspect as your inspiration, come explore your artistic side & take home a lifer!
