There is so much that is good about learning to make pottery! To take a lump of clay and transform it into something beautiful – that is also functional, is so incredibly satisfying. A spoon rest is one of those things that is functional, but also has so much versatility in terms of design. (Also, they make great presents!) There is no end to how creative you can get with your design. 
Functional beauty that lets your creativity shine. That is what working with clay is all about. Making a mirror frame is one of the easiest ways to learn about clay and there are so many different styles that are easy and will make your friends think you have been working with clay for decades. You can add clay to make a design, carve a design, use stamps, or use different available textures. Your finished mirror frame will be about 10 by 7 inches. The first class will be spent making the frame, the second class will be spent glazing, and the last class will be spent adding gluing the glass in and adding a backing, and wire or string for hanging. The glass we will be using is mirror glass from mirrors that have been upcycled glass. The first class will be nd the last class will be September 29. The workshop will meet from 7 to 9 pm on these days. It will be limited to 8 students.

The third week of class will be spent planting the container you made using small 2 inch succulents. (The succulents I have ordered from 
How many leaves do you recognize from the platter below? I love finding ways to incorporate nature into the things I make. This platter is not only very functional but really pretty, too! Using leaves and flowers from around my house, you are welcome to bring your own, you will make a ceramic platter that when finished is about 9 x 5 inches. It will be dishwasher safe, microwavable and oven proof.
