Clay + Beading Hybrid – New!
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Discover the process of planning and creating mixed-media artworks that incorporate ceramics and beading! We will start by brainstorming project concepts, followed by crafting the ceramic components in the first four weeks. Then, in the following four weeks, we will delve into various beading techniques to create the intricate beaded elements of the piece. Finally, we will culminate the project by assembling the ceramic and beaded components to achieve the finished artwork.
Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible.
