This event is held in the White Oak Pavilion

Tiles and plaques will be the focus of the workshop. The clay is red earthenware containing sand with a coarse texture and when fired can withstand wet freezing temperatures.

No clay experience needed!  Just a desire to join in the camaraderie of creating.   A short demonstration showing materials, tools, and techniques will get you started!

Designed for persons aged 17+.

You will roll out the clay and use your creativity to decorate the surface with stamps, sgraffito (scratching clay) and appliqué (applied shapes) techniques. Assistance is available. 

• Tools and ideas are provided
• You may bring ideas, images, stamps and cookie cutters to decorate your tile
• You will be working with damp red-brown clay - this is not a messy or muddy process!
• Dress comfortably for the weather and in clothing that can be washed

Materials - Two size options are available and are payable at the workshop

• Option 1 is about 6 pounds of clay and makes a tile/stone that is 8” x 8”, ¾” thick   OR  a plaque 10” x 10”, ½” thick
• Option 2 is about 8 1/2 pounds of clay and makes a tile/stone that is 10” x 10”, ¾” thick  OR   a plaque 12” x 12”, ½” thick

Sizes  are approximate based on how the clay is rolled out.  Your “leftover”  clay can be used to make a few plant stakes or a small plaque.

​

Option 1 = $25   -    Option 2 = $35
