(In-Person) Family Fun Day – “Glaze Your Own” (Cortland, NY)
- Saturday, January 25th from 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
- Pottery Works, in The Cortland Corset Building, 75 East Court St., Cortland, NY
  
  For Adoptive, KINSHIP and Guardianship Families in Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Madison, and Tompkins Counties!
  Come create and connect as a family! You and your child(ren) will have fun glazing/painting a ceramic tile during Pottery Works! Your creation will be fired by Pottery Works and will be ready for pickup at a later date (your Family Support Specialist will also be able to deliver your finished project to you). This amazing event will build connections between you and your child as you have fun creating a family keepsake.
  Wear comfortable clothes that can get wet and stained without worry – both will happen! Close-toed shoes are best, and folks with long hair will probably want to tie it back out of the way.
  Register today to secure your spot! Light refreshments will be served.
