Pollinators like bees and butterflies need places to land, drink water, and rest throughout the garden. These shallow ceramic cups allow for our small friends to wade in and quench their thirst.

1 pound of clay (enough to make 1-2 pollinator cups)
underglaze paint colors of your choice
paintbrush
The pollinators request:
Shallow cup design (less than 3in deep to avoid mosquitos)
Colors such as purple, blue, and yellow
After building and painting, bring your pollinator cup (and any leftover materials) back to the studio during the hours below. Finished pieces will be ready 3-4 weeks later!
