Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

This clay invites you to have fun. Participants will be learning how to manipulate slippery clay slabs. As if by magic, the clay will rise with no visible means of support. Michelle will cover how to make expressive hands and faces and by the end of class, it will all come together with formulas and examples for Michelle’s best non-glaze finishes.

Paper clay can be twisted, folded, squeezed and torn to mimic the human form. Because of the wicking properties that come from the paper additives in the clay, the slabs will adhere to each other without scoring …amazing. You will even be able to join wet to dry.
