ONSITE: Make Your Own Clay Ornament (A)
Adult Intensive | This class is completed
Come make art side by side as a family! In this class you will make beautiful ornaments to hang on your tree, or anywhere really! Roll out slabs, cut out shapes, use a variety of materials to make impressions and patterns in the clay, and and embellish your ornaments. Ornaments can even be painted once dry!
If under age 18, must also register with an adult. This class uses airdry clay so students can take home ornaments immediately after class. Bring a box so you can take your clay ornaments home with you!

Claudia Meyer
Claudia is an artist and object-maker living and working in Richmond, VA primarily working in clay and paper media. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media in 2020. Her handbuilt works in clay, although they are made of hardened earth, feel soft to the touch. Their colors are as jovial and earthly as bursting laughter. These objects emit energy through their whimsical forms and patterns. She learns from the way that the moon and the trees wave to each other and the deep knowledge rooted in the earth and our bodies.
Through her teaching, she aims to democratize the classroom space, leveling the student/teacher relationship to one of reciprocity rather than authority. Her students learn just as much from the world around them as they do from each other. In her classroom, Claudia exists as a guide for her creative students' journeys and she endeavors to teach her students limitlessness in their creative pursuits.
