Autumnal Botanical Plates

As autumn begins to show itself in our gardens, I invite you to bring a bit of what remains, or a handful of the first leaves to fall, for a fun and easy beginner level hand-building project. Join Robin in the clay studio and make your own botanical plate by pressing herbs, leaves and flowers into clay before forming it over a mold. There are several shapes available and I’ll have a variety of plant material here to choose from, but if you have something special growing at home that you think would be lovely pressed into clay, feel free to bring some along! After crafting your plate, it will be dried and go through the first firing, know as the bisque firing. Then you’re invited back on Saturday September 27 at 11 AM to learn how to paint your lovely plate with underglazes in a “watercolor” effect. If that date doesn’t work for you, and alternative will be arranged. All materials included in the cost of class, ages 14 and up, age 8-13 if accompanied by an adult.
