Ceramic Jewelry Workshop (4 Week Course - August, Saturday Afternoons)

Ready to bring the designs in your head into the physical world? Then this short-and-sweet workshop is for you! Over four weekly, 2-hour sessions you’ll dive into the world of ceramic jewelry - learning how to create petite pieces that are strong, lightweight, and eye-catching. Whether you’re new to clay or looking to expand your creative repertoire, you’ll leave with a polished mini-collection that’s glazed, assembled, and ready to wear (or gift).

What you’ll explore:

• Shaping small forms: Master pinch, coil, slab, and mold techniques.

• Texture & surface design: Experiment with stamps, carving, underglazes, and layered color.

• Glazing for jewelry: Learn glaze application strategies to achieve specific colors and finishes.

• Hardware & assembly: Gain confidence in finishing your pieces with hypoallergenic findings so everything is studio-quality and wearable.

Bring your curiosity and your ideas; we’ll supply clay, tools, glazes, and professional support to help you achieve your goals. By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only wear your own art - you’ll understand the entire process from raw clay to polished final product.
