In this series of 1.5 hour online workshops, we will work with students to build techniques to create things from life and imagination in 3-D. We will be using Zoom to meet with students and share our energy and knowledge about utilizing this colorful bake-at-home clay. Register for one workshop or all of them! Each 1.5 hour workshop is $20.00. Save $10 when you sign up for the entire series! These clay classes will be offered online, so students will need a phone, computer, or ipad with a camera and a small space to work at home.

These can be purchased on Amazon or at a Michaels store, which is now offering curbside pick-up.
