As the sun goes down, “cozy up by the fire” at the outdoor warming lounge or catch a unique pop-up performance by one of the early evening’s strolling flame dancers. Timed tickets are required.

Pottery In The Woods at Hunterdon County Arboretum
When: Sunday, January 13 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: 1020 NJ-31, Lebanon
The Hunterdon County Arboretum is offering a course that fuses both nature and ceramics. Take a walk through nature to collect inspiration and talk about textures and images observed for the clay project. Then you’ll take those ideas to the classroom. The instructor will supply objects and materials found in nature, but feel free to bring your own treasures to press into clay. The instructor will fire the projects, and they will be ready to pick up 2 weeks later during office hours. Bring a sketchbook and writing utensil. No experience necessary. Pre-register by calling (908) 782-1158.
