Description
As usual, I am running behind and have not made an example of what this will look like. I have included some pictures, one that i am in the process of making, and one that I found on the internet. The one I made, has yet to be fired, so what you are seeing is the raw clay.
A fun project for all ages – an example of functional art.
Join us April 19, from 2 – 4 pm to make this project.
You will be given a slab of clay, about 8 x 11, and then use a styrofoam mold to shape the clay into a cone shape. You can use any of the studio’s 20 or so rolling pins to add texture, then decorate the outside using any of our silicon molds for flowers, roping, animals, leaves or trees, etc. Remove from the mold, and a base, and you have yourself a fully functional vase – once fired.
Come back in two weeks and glaze it. We will have the choice of white, clear, brown or green glaze. The final vase, about 7 x 4 inches, will be dishwasher safe, microwaveable, and ovenproof when finished.
You can pick up your vase within 2 weeks from when you glaze it.
This is the project for Sunday 4/19. The drop in workshop is offered from 2 – 4 pm. It will probably take you about an hour to make the vase, longer if you add lots of detail. A different project will be offered each week.
Payment may be made through this website or at the door with cash. Attending a drop in studio does not count towards the prerequisite requirements for attending open studio.
Please review my studio rules before committing to this workshop.
