Do you have a plant that you love and want to create a planter that will show off just how unique or pretty it is?
Join us Thursday afternoons in February for this beginner class to make a planter. The planter with feature a textured outside and attached saucer for drainage. You can add holes to make it a hanging planter, or just leave it to sit beautifully on your table or windowsill. The planter will be a maximum of 7 inches tall by 5 inches wide – you can make it smaller, if needed. We’ll use different items to add texture to the outside for visual interest – or you can leave it plain and just let the glaze, whatever colors you choose, do its magic. The planter will be made using slabs of clay and molds, but finished on the wheel. The class will be limited to 6 students and will involve sharing of the wheels.
The class will meet two days. The first day we will make the planter. You will then come back the following week to glaze the planter. The days will be Feb 16 and 23 from 4 to 6 pm. The first class will likely take the full 2 hours, the second class will probably be just one hour.
Your planter will be ready for pick up within 3 weeks following the last class.
This three day workshop combines the fun of working with clay, as well as the enjoyment and satisfaction of gardening. The first day we will make the actual pocket container from a slab of stoneware clay. Different shapes and textures will be explored to help you create a planter into which you will plant 3 baby succulents. The second class, the following week, we will prepare the container for glazing and then glaze. Different methods of glazing and the different glazes available will be covered. The third week of class will be spent planting the container you made using small 2 inch succulents. (The succulents I have ordered from
