Hand-Built Angels

Students will use simple hand-building techniques to create their own unique angel figure. The teacher will provide a template that students can change and customize to make their design more personal. Each student will receive enough white clay to make one large angel. The instructor will have a variety of decorations and tools to create patterns on the clay, but students are also encouraged to bring any meaningful items they might want to include, like buttons, lace, or special stamps—anything they like! This project can be finished within the 3-hour class. After the angels are fired once to harden, there will be several opportunities for beginner glaze sessions so students can add color to their angels.
