Workshops:

Learn to make these funky fantastic containers! Wear your old clothes. This is a dirty class, held outdoors - "mud pie making for grownups."

Bring an open mind, ready to fill with creative ideas!

You will learn the recipe, techniques and “rules”, and take home completed works of art, making four or five (according to the molds I find) planters of varying sizes and shapes. All supplies are included, along with molds to keep and material to add color to your masterpieces.

Bring a bagged lunch. For workshops at my house, we'll toast to art and creativity with a glass of wine before reluctantly ending our day.

*A note of disclosure at the request of a student: The materials we use can be toxic if inhaled, so I require that you wear a dust mask while ingredients are dry. To protect your hands and nails, I require that you wear heavy gloves while we mold our pots. I provide all safety equipment. This is great fun, but it's labor intensive!
