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!

In this class you will learn how to use slabs of clay to craft a simple box.  The walls of this box can be carved or cut out of to make windows for light to escape.  This creates a fun and unique pattern for light to escape and illuminate the space around the lantern.

These lanterns can be left plain, or they can be decorated using our colorful underglazes.  In addition to colors, they can remain natural and bare or coated with a clear glaze to give them a shine!

The glaze date for this class is June 6th, two-weeks after the making of the piece!
