Great for beginners to clay!
First Workshop:
We’ll be making as many clay beads as you can, in a variety of sizes and shapes, and decorating with underglazes in a wide variety of underglaze colors. We’ll be working with a buff-colored clay with speckles, a porcelain-like white clay, and a black clay. I will fire them to bisque then finally fired to cone 6 for a rustic finish. I’ll have stamps and texture tools to have a wide possibility for the look of your pieces. All materials and tools provided.
Second Workshop:
You’ll get back your fired beads , and then will jump into my extensive collection of beads, like an all-you-can-eat buffet! You'll get to make 1-2 necklaces on 50 inches of strong waxed cord. What you finish is what you take from my collection. You'll probably make way more hand-made beads than you need, so will have plenty for other projects! I have a huge stash of vintage, glass, wood, metal, crystal and acrylic beads!
PLEASE READ FAQ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING.
The Garden Workshops are held in a small urban forest with towering heritage Douglas Fir trees, that create a cool and pleasant shade garden, even in the height of summer. Late JUNE thru early SEPTEMBER.
Workshops are held rain or shine, because there is a covered workshop and a festival tent.
OCTOBER-MAY Workshops are held inside my cozy studio in the trees with a woodfire stove!

Class Minimum: Classes need 5 people minimum to run. So spread the word to friends! I'll let you know about a week before class if it is likely to be canceled or not, and a refund will be issued. If you want to have your class run, you need to invite friends along! Once the class has met minimum enrollment, I'll let you know. Don't wait until the last minute to register.
