Clay Crafts: Mother's Day Edition

Clay Crafts: Mother's Day Edition

Join Artesstry's Tess O'Malley for a fun evening of crafting with clay!

You'll use small cookie cutters to shape your charms, then pick your favorite colors to glaze your creations all in one workshop. For the Mother's Day Edition of Clay Crafts, the main cutter shapes will be florals, leaves, and hearts! Other simple shapes will also be included. No previous art experience required, the studio will provide all materials, instruction, and basic techniques for working with clay. This class is a hand-building workshop and does not involve the use of a pottery wheel.
Each student will be permitted to create up to three (3) charms. After class is done, Tess will process each charm and assemble them to each student's choosing: charms can be used to create either a pair of earrings (studs or dangles), a hair clip, or a magnet. Students can mix and match their final products.
Examples:
-1 pair of earrings + 1 magnet/necklace charm/hair clip
-1 magnet + 1 necklace charm + 1 hair clip
-3 magnets/necklace charms/hair clips

A little more about Tess and Artesstry: Tess moved to Norfolk from California in 2023 and started her own business selling ceramics and custom works of art that same year. Out of the many artistic media that she's explored, Tess enjoys creating small, detailed pieces the most, and she's excited to share this passion with you!
