Hand-built with Love.... Valentines
A Two-day Hand-building Workshop for Valentine Trinket & Gift Dishes
Service Description
Celebrate Valentine's Day with clay in this fun and relaxed two-day hand-building workshop. In this workshop students will create a collection of small Valentine-inspired trinket dishes and a larger Keepsake piece perfect for gifting. On Day One, we will explore slab building techniques, applying texture, to form unique dishes. Students can add hearts, words, impressions, or keep things simple and modern -- this class is all about personal expression. On Day Two, we'll focus on glazing and finishing techniques, learning how to enhance your piece with color, using washes and simple decorative details and glazes. All pieces will be kiln fired and ready for pick up after firing. This class is beginner-friendly and great for anyone looking to try pottery, make meaningful handmade gifts, or enjoy a creative break. Young potters welcome with registered parent or guardian, ages 8 and up.

The Pottery Studio is a small, intimate, friendly studio where people make friends easily and build a community. If you would like to check out the studio before registering, send me an email to make an appointment! STUDIO GUIDELINES: NO OUTSIDE CLAY/GLAZES/or pottery made elsewhere. Please follow all cleanliness guidelines that are posted in studio. Silica dust is deadly, and there are good reasons for all the cleaning rules posted. This is one of the cleanest studios you will ever see. There are no dirty tools in buckets, YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR WORKSPACE/TABLES/BOARDS AND WHEELS CLEAN thanks! (cleaning is part of making and we will show you how!) Bring your own towels and apron if you choose and bring items HOME TO WASH BETWEEN CLASSES. Dry clay creates dust. Work wet and clean wet, do not let clay dry on tools, hands, tables, towels, floors etc. Clean up dust, clay lint, clay bits immediately. Arrive on time, class ends on time. There are no make ups for missed classes. If the instructor has to cancel, arrangements will be made to make up the time. Manage your expectations, pottery can be difficult ! I make every effort for you to succeed, but if you are after perfection, this is not the place for you. Things happen, pieces break, glaze fails, on and on.
