<h3><br></h3><h3>I’m excited to offer this mixed media project that blends three of my loves - fiber, clay and plants! I’ve worked in Fiber for more than 20 years, but my artistic history is in clay with a BFA and an MFA in ceramics. I love combining both!</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>This project is a perfect introduction to clay, and fiber arts, but also has plenty of expressive potential for those who already have experience in these mediums.</h3><p><br></p><p> Clay and Fiber have a natural symbiosis - and you’ll be thrilled with what you can accomplish!</p><h3><br></h3><h1>PLEASE READ FAQ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING.</h1><h1><br></h1>

<h3><br></h3><h3><strong><strong>First Workshop</strong></strong>: </h3><h3><br></h3><h3>We’ll be pinch building the bottom of our vessels, and decorating with underglazes in a variety of summer colors. We’ll be working with a buff-colored clay with speckles, when fired to cone 6, becomes almost as if it’s glazed. I’ll have stamps and texture tools to have a wide possibility for the look of your pieces</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>The ceramic bottom allows you to use it as a ‘drip pan’ for hanging plants. You’ll be able to make 1-2 clay pieces during this workshop</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><strong><strong>Second Workshop</strong></strong>: </h3><h3><br></h3><h3>You’ll get back your fired pieces, and we will learn to weave a top portion, using a needle, t-shirt fiber, and a wide variety of colored cotton thread and waxed threads. This technique is accessible and forgiving, but makes something that is stunning, allowing you to explore patterns and color.</h3><p><br></p>

<h3><br></h3><h3>At the end of the workshop, you’ll get to take home the  needle and a variety strings and fibers to complete your plant holder, as well as work on your other pieces, if you made more than one.</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>You can suspend your pieces with waxed thread or build them with a flat surface to sit on a table.</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3>All tools and supplies are provided: Clay, underglazes, firing, fiber, cords, waxed string, needles and sparkling water and wrapped snacks.</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>If you have a particular plant in mind, bring measurements so you can make your project to fit!</h3>
