Clay Wallflowers: Poppies!

Join us for a fun and creative summer clay handbuilding workshop as we create a brand new floral design for this season — beautiful handcrafted clay poppies! If you loved our popular clay dahlia class last year, you’ll love adding these whimsical poppies to your collection of decorative clay flowers. These stunning blooms make a gorgeous statement displayed on a wall, tucked into a garden space, or styled as part of your seasonal home décor.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to handbuild a detailed clay poppy approximately 8 inches in diameter while exploring texture, shaping, and sculpting techniques. Each flower will have its own unique personality and style, making your finished piece truly one of a kind.
