Purple Twig

Join us for SMALL SHOP Saturday for an open invitation to play with clay, exploring, building, shaping, rolling, smashing. We will have piles of clay on the table to dive into along with other materials to make robots or houses or creatures. This is an open ended invitation. A teacher will be present to assist with any needs but no instruction will be given. 

Join us for SMALL Shop Saturday anytime between 11:00-2:00. We will be offering fabric dyeing. We are excited to have 2 vats of natural dyes for you to choose from, Tumeric (yellow) and Madder (pinkish red).  We can explore the dyes in their powder form with bundle dying as well. Please bring bed linens or table linens or socks or tshirts or dresses or paints as long as they are a natural material like cotton or linen or hemp. Acrylic or Polyester will not accept the dye. 

Register your child to build with clay in the front of the studio while you explore dyes in the back. 

Having a menorah created by your child is something you can treasure forever. This is a two-day workshop. The first Saturday we will build the menorah from a low fire clay by forming, sculpting, twisting, rolling a menorah leave it to dry. Sunday we will glaze it. They will take about a week to dry fully before I will fire them in the kiln and then can come and pick them up just in time for Chanukah. 

Join us for a fairy house making workshop. We will be offering clay and natural seed pods and twigs and rocks and sparkly leaves and berries and sparkly snow to make little wintery house scenes.

Using recycled jars we will create little wonderlands using trees and animals and ribbon and bobbles and such adding glitter and fake snow. I have great supplies but please, if you would like a certain theme (star wars, princesses) then you are welcome to bring some of your own figures to add to these scenes.

Join us in our studio to build some coil pots, pinch pots, a family garland or hanging. We provide the clay, tools, glaze and fire your pieces for you. This is a 2 session workshop. The first class session a teacher will guide you through makes pieces of your own or a collective piece. The second session we will glaze them. Once the pieces are completely dry, which can take up to a week, we fire the works and let you know when it's time to pick up. 

Bring your family to our large airy studio where I will put together a project for your family to make together. We can set up a self-portrait drawing session or a family drawing session where you each draw eacother or a family printmaking session or a collaborative painting on a large canvas.
