This course will focus on creating light as we embrace the darkening season. We will make some version of a taper candle holder: a tree of life, menorah, or candelabra. You will learn various hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, slab building, carving, and sculpting. No prior experience is needed, and many tools can be found in the kitchen. Class is limited to 10 students.

NOTE: Students must obtain materials and project ideas prior to first class. Materials include: #5 Amaco self-hardening clay (stonex white or Mexican pottery red).  The cost is approximately $25. Additional materials in lieu of clay tools include a knife, skewer, small sponge, small bowl, paint brush, wooden board, Ziploc bag, and box to safely transport your project.
