The Making of the New Fiona & Fritz Ornament: Behind-the-Scenes Factory Tours

Join us for Behind-the-Scenes tours on October 11th & 12th to get a special look at our New 'You Are My Sunshine' Holiday Ornament, celebrating everyone's favorite brother & sister: Fiona and Fritz! These tours will focus on all the steps it takes to craft these adorable ornaments in order to get them in to your hands (and homes!). 

Since the first pieces were pulled from the kiln on Thanksgiving Day in 1880, our artists have continued Rookwood’s 140-year tradition of transforming earthen materials into works of art. Come join us in the studio to go behind-the-scenes and experience the magic behind Rookwood, our rich history and the evolution of style and color that is Rookwood today. Our resident historian, George, will take you through our 88,000 square foot production facility to see where our artists handcraft pottery and architectural tile.
