Create your very own curio shelf to display all of your treasures! Mitch will guide you through the making of a lovely, organic shaped, adobe style cabinet of curiosities to hold jewelry, crystals, and other trinkets. 

During this 4 hour hands-on workshop, you’ll learn all about handbuilding, sculpting, and forming stoneware. By the end of class, you’ll understand how to properly work with clay so that the resulting piece is structurally sound. You'll also learn how to imprint textures and add shapes to create something entirely unique.

What activities will you experience?

• Wedging clay
• Rolling clay into slabs and coils
• Building coils to create structure
• Smoothing and blending techniques
• Scoring and slipping to attach pieces
• Paddling techniques
• Drying techniques

Once your glaze is set, your pieces will be loaded into the kiln to be fired. All work will be ready within 2 weeks after class. We will call/email to let you know when your projects are ready for pick up. POST is also happy to ship.
