Clay Jewelry Creations at The Charming Orange

Transform clay into wearable art in this exciting 2-session class at The Charming Orange! Whether you're new to jewelry making or an experienced crafter, this course offers a fun and creative way to design and make your own clay jewelry. In a supportive, hands-on environment, you'll learn basic jewelry design concepts while experimenting with textures, shapes, and colors to create your own unique pieces.

Course Overview:

In this two-week workshop, you will use the art of handbuilding with clay to craft personalized beads, pendants, and earring pieces. You’ll learn basic jewelry design principles, explore different texturing techniques, and create one-of-a-kind accessories. You'll end up with lots of ceramic parts to use for several pieces of jewelry or wall hangings.

This class meets Saturday, January 11, 2025 and Saturday, January 25, 2025 from 10 am - 1 pm.

Course Details:

• All materials and firings are included in the course fee. Students can make multiples of pieces as time permits. The studio provides the jewelry findings (clasps, ear wires, jump rings, etc.) to complete your pieces, and basic tools will be available for studio use.

• Your completed jewelry will be available for pick-up within two weeks after the final class, and we’ll notify you when it’s ready for collection.

• Please come prepared with a hand towel for your use and whatever beverage you want. Wear comfortable, older clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and non-slip shoes for safety.

• Students may use the studio jewelry tools to assemble their pieces during class or take their creations home to finish at their leisure.

Who This Class Is For:

This class is perfect for beginners who are new to clay or jewelry making, as well as those with some experience looking to expand their creative skills. It’s open to ages 16 and up, and no previous ceramic or jewelry-making experience is required. You’ll walk away from the course with handmade, personalized pieces that reflect your unique style.

Join us at The Charming Orange for a fun, creative, and relaxing experience where you can make beautiful jewelry from the ground up. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself—or create a special gift for someone else!
