07/22 Clay Handbuilding: Flower Press Vases
Advertisement
In this clay handbuilding class, you’ll create a slab-built vase from start to finish, focusing on clean construction and thoughtful form. Before assembling your vase, you’ll press fresh and dried flowers into the clay to create delicate, organic textures that become part of the surface design.
Once the vase is formed, you’ll refine the shape and details while learning proper scoring and slipping techniques to ensure a strong build. After firing, the pressed floral impressions will add subtle depth and character to the finished piece, resulting in a one of a kind vase that celebrates both clay and nature. No clay experience needed—just bring your creativity, and we’ll guide you step-by-step!
Pre-registration is required — each person in your group (including kids) must have a ticket.
What’s included:
Up to 1.5 lbs of clay per participant
Instruction in handbuilding techniques
Tools and materials for decorating your piece
Glazing and two kiln firings included
