Have you been wanting to dabble in sculpting or just wanting to experiment with clay? This is the perfect class to get you started in the wonderful world of clay! I will guide you every step of the way. Even if you are a seasoned clay artist, this is a great class with lots of fun and easy techniques to give you that kick-start you need to apply to many other projects.
You will leave your rattle with me. Once they are dry, I will bisque-fire your piece and then personally glaze it for you using an oxide with a white glaze, similar to the seed pod shown in the photos.
This class is for you if:
~You have never worked with clay but would love an introduction to ceramics
~You want a great fun experience with your friends
~You want to walk away with some new clay techniques and skills
~You love clay
~You have worked with clay and would like to enhance your skills and techniques
I will transport the rattles to my home studio in Vancouver, WA. I will bisque-fire them, add an oxide and a white glaze and glaze fire them. This will consist of 2 firings.
Your seed pod will need to dry completely before they go into the kiln.
Once your pieces are fired there will be 3 options to receiving your pieces.
- You may pick your seed pod up at my home studio:
2706 NW 98th Street, Vancouver WA 98665. - You may pick your seed pod up at the Sheraton on March 23rd.
- I will ship your piece to you. You will be responsible for the shipping cost.
