Contact Old School Clay and Ceramics to schedule your party at our studio for the best creative fun! Old School Clay has expanded and the new larger site will accommodate up to 20 people. We will offer all kinds of fun projects for the beginner with no experience required. You can schedule for one day projects, where you will make the piece of pottery, and our staff will finish your work, or two day projects where you make and glaze your pottery. There is no additional charge if you come back to glaze your project. These projects would also be great for homeschoolers or scouts, corporate outings, or even as a family outing.
Once finished all the pottery will be dishwasher safe, microwaveable and oven proof, if protected from thermal shock.
Potential Projects
Make a Plate: Each participant will have an opportunity to make their very own plate. The plate is the perfect size for a snack or bagel or muffin. Each participant will decorate the plate how they want. One could use leaves or texture (carved or stamped) to make their own unique design. $15 per person, minimum $150
Make a Bowl: Using coils and a mold, participants will make a bowl. Coiling is just one of any different ways to make pottery that is not only functional – but beautiful! With coils, one can create textures and designs with the clay – which, after glazing creates subtle beauty. $15 per person, minimum $150
Make A Vase : Using extruded clay tubes, either round or square, you can decorate the tube as you want. Use leaves to make an imprint (seasonal availability) or add clay decorations. $15 per person, minimum $150
Make a Luncheon Plate: Once finished, this plate is about 9 inches wide, making it suitable for a luncheon plate. We can discuss different ways to decorate it, which will determine the cost to make this very functional dish. $20 – $25 per person, Minimum of $200.
Make a wind chime: Using leaves as an imprint, we will make a wind chime with five chimes of about 4 inches each. Beads can also be included. They look great hanging from a stick or driftwood (not included). $15 per person, minimum $150. (This wind chime was made by another artist).
Make a Leaf Bowl: Using a large leaf, such as a catalpa leaf, or grape leaf, or Norway maple, we will roll the leaf into the clay and then cut around the leaf. This project can only be done when these leaves are available. we will then use a form to drape the leaf on, creating a bowl shape. $15 per person, minimum of $150.
Make a Tray – Functional and attractive. Use any number of different textures, from the 12 studio rolling pins, to multiple stamps, or different texture plates. Add handles – or not. It is a blank canvas for you to decorate! $30 – $35 per person, Minimum of $250.
This post will be updated as I learn the new formatting of wordpress, which has me currently frustrated, and as new ideas are added. Potential other products include clay pumpkins and clay trees (Christmas decoration)
