Whimsical Woods Workshop: DIY Bird Feeder

  • Field Co. Creative 1010 South Main Street, Suite 400 Council Bluffs, IA, 51503 United States (map)

Whimsical Woods Workshop at Field Co
Birds of a feather paint together.

Join us for a cozy Saturday morning in the studio as we gather around the table to paint wonderfully whimsical ceramic birdfeeders. Each piece is wheel-thrown and delightfully asymmetric, full of charm and ready for your imagination to bring it to life.

At Field Co, we believe creativity grows best in good company. You’ll choose your own one-of-a-kind birdfeeder and spend the morning painting alongside fellow makers while instructor Marla Schoening guides us through glaze techniques, color layering, and playful embellishments to make your piece truly personal. Whether you’re creating something special for your own garden or a heartfelt gift, this workshop is all about slowing down, making something beautiful, and enjoying the process together.

Because we’re using professional ceramic glazes, your finished birdfeeders will stay behind after the workshop for a trip through the kiln. Once fired, they’ll emerge with a glossy, weather-proof finish—ready to make their debut in your garden.
