You probably never though about ceramic buttons or earrings, but clay can look like almost anything. Carve it, shape it, roll it, stamp it, glaze it. Whatever you want, you can do it. In this two day course, you will create up to five pairs or earrings or ten buttons or a combination of each (15 items max per person). Day one will be shaping and forming your buttons or earrings. Day two the following week will be decorating with glaze. Your finished pieces wil include earring findings. No previous clay experience is required for this class. All tools and supplies will be provided by the clay studio. Projects will be glazed and fired and ready for pick up approximately one week after the last class. 

Draw for yourself, find your own style, and send your inner critic "to the gym!" Learn some new techniques, take a chance on a new drawing tool (charcoal, colored pencil, a sumi brush), or a different drawing surface (what is plate vs vellum?). Discover how you enter a drawing, and whether it is tight or loose, and what on earth value and foreshortening have to do with anything? Come and have fun in a positive atmosphere. Bring a bag lunch.

A favorite holiday tradition that I started with my wife is searching out a unique, handmade ornament to hang on our Christmas tree.  Here is your chance to make your very own snowflake ornament out of porcelain clay.  Using simple cookie cutter shapes and a slab of clay, you will create five unique ornaments that when fired will all be white as snow.  Keep them for yourself or give them away as gifts.  Suitable for adults or parents attending with children over eight years old.  *If a second child attends or if more than 5 ornaments are desired please sign up for a second registration. Registration begins Sept. 6th. $20.00
