Pottery, Textiles, and Taste: Hands-On Experiences

Posted on October 28, 2025 by Dina Miller

In Indiana's Cool North, creative classes offer hands-on experiences for all ages and skill levels. Participants can explore pottery, hand‑sewn textiles, glass fusion, and cooking classes that teach everything from local recipes to sweet treats. Each session lets you create a unique item, build new skills, and enjoy a fun, imaginative outing.
