Ceramic Ornament Making Workshop for Kids

Participants will work with rolled clay slabs to make decorated ceramic ornaments. Appropriate for students six years old and up. Students can use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or ceramic tools to cut and sculpt unique forms. We will then use a variety of carving and texture tools to imprint the clay surface and underglaze to paint and decorate the ornaments. Each ornament will be prepared with a small hole at the top through which to affix string for hanging. Pieces will be fired and finished with a clear glaze before being returned to students. Taught by Kayleen vonSchondorf.
