Course Description

I know an antiquities dealer who also sells all manner of things from the natural world like giant fossils, crystals, corals and shells. I bought an ancient rooster candle holder from him (I'll put it in the gallery in this listing) a few years ago and it sits at my kitchen sink. This thing enchants me every time I look at it. So last Fall I made a few to have some fun and explore the idea. They're made in a small scale and have a quality of energy all their own. Since it was such a pleasure making them, I thought I'd share that joyful experience this Summer and show anyone who's curious how I made them. We will sculpt a few in fact but we won't decorate them. Each participant can choose from among a handful of glazes available at the studio for Lisa to apply once these small beauties are out of the bisque kilns. When they're finished, the group will be contacted for pick-up or to ship to those who traveled a distance (shipping fees will be applied at cost).
