Great for beginners to clay!

First Workshop:

We’ll be making as many clay beads as you can, in a variety of sizes and shapes, and decorating with underglazes in a wide variety of underglaze colors. We’ll be working with a buff-colored clay with speckles, a porcelain-like white clay, and a black clay. I will fire them to bisque then finally fired to cone 6 for a rustic finish. I’ll have stamps and texture tools to have a wide possibility for the look of your pieces. All materials and tools provided.

Second Workshop:

You’ll get back your fired beads , and then will jump into my extensive collection of beads, like an all-you-can-eat buffet! You'll get to make 1-2 necklaces on 50 inches of strong waxed cord. What you finish is what you take from my collection. You'll probably make way more hand-made beads than you need, so will have plenty for other projects! I have a huge stash of vintage, glass, wood, metal, crystal and acrylic beads!

PLEASE READ FAQ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING.

The Garden Workshops are held in a small urban forest with towering heritage Douglas Fir trees, that create a cool and pleasant shade garden, even in the height of summer. Late JUNE thru early SEPTEMBER.

Workshops are held rain or shine, because there is a covered workshop and a festival tent.

OCTOBER-MAY Workshops are held inside my cozy studio in the trees with a woodfire stove!
