This is a fun activity for all ages. Bright colors and a fun design will add a bit of whimsy to your garden for the summer! They could also be used as a luminary.
This is a 2 day workshop, The first day, March 6, we will make the fairy house. Depending on how much detail you add to your house it will likely take the full 2 hours. You will be shown how to make the base house - the detail you add is up to you. The base will be made using a cone mold. The detail you will add using the left over clay frm the 8 x 12 rectangle of clay provided. Fondant molds of flowers, butterflies, and leaves, make the decorating easy. You will then come back a week later to paint it. It will likely take the full 2 hours to paint, depending on how much detail you add.
Detail ideas: windows, doors, balconies, stone window sill, vines, flowers, dragons, bugs, birds, trees, leaves, shutters, swing, chimney, the roof could be a mushroom top, or a leaf thatch, with your imagination - there is no limit.
The houses will then need to be fired, and will be ready for pick up within 3 weeks. These houses will be fine to leave outside during the summer, but once the temperatures start freezing, they need to come in.
Please review my studio rules before committing to this workshop.
