EW - 05/17 & 05/24 - Clay Pendants & Charms

with Megan Steinman

Calendar Current session started May 17, 2025 at 5 pm

Instructor: Megan Steinman

Date: May 17th & May 24th 2025

Time: 5pm-7pm

Ages: Teen and Adult

 

In this class you will use simple cookie cutters to create shapes which will serve as a base for your pendants. They can be decorated by using texture plates and stamps as well as built upon with other small bits of clay, just be careful not to make it too heavy. You will have the opportunity to make multiple of these pendants during the class and will give them color using underglazes.

How many can you make? A question with a broad answer, you are limited only by the time and the amount of clay you start with, which will be more clay than you can likely use during the time given. Most beginners will likely fully finish 5-7 pendants during the time given.

The glaze date for this class is May 24th!

 

The Mansfield Art Center has a 24-hour cancelation policy, if for any reason you must cancel please contact us ASAP.
