Air Dry Clay Magnets, Charms + Dishes: Part 1
with Rebecca Holopter
$90
2 Part Series: November 7th + 14th
Join us for a deep dive into the world of air dry clay!
In this two part series, students will have the chance to make a number of items from their 1lb block of clay. Magnets, charms, miniatures, trinket dishes - the world is your oyster! (Oysters shells are an option too.). The first session will be spent working with the clay - molding, rolling, coiling, slipping and scoring. Students will then leave their projects to dry at the studio.
The following week, we will be painting + sealing our projects! Students will work with acrylic paint, matte or gloss sealant, and will have the chance to explore resin sealing as well for that extra glossy finish.
Please note that air dry clay is not food or pet safe, even when finished.
All supplies will be provided.
Feel free to BYOB!

Rebecca Holopter is a multi-hyphenate artist who focuses on ease, joy, and nostalgia. Jealous of her brother's ninja turtle drawings, Rebecca's aunt set her down at a young age and said "it's just practice." With this sentiment, Rebecca continued to practice and study art throughout college. In 2015 she drew and animal a day (maintaining the practice while drinking wine in Italy!) and in 2016 she extended the practice with a watercolor painting a day. Since then she has continued with watercolor adding in other art mediums such as embroidery, acrylic, and pastels to explore skin tones and textures in colorful portraits and the freedom in excessive abstracts. She has taught in different mediums for the past 6 years and encourages her students with the same sentiment that was instilled in her - it's all just practice.
