KCPCG Spring Workshop with Eduardo Farillo

Mimi Pot Containing Stromanthe Triostar Vine

Eduardo is a talented, young polymer clay artist, teacher, and designer. He has combined his creativity and experimentation with liquid polymer clay to teach you the skills needed to complete a delightful little Glazed Pot

Brooch. In this workshop you will:

    * Explore combinations of pigment powders and glass inclusions to create a lovely liquid clay glaze.
    *Practice shaping small pots by hand using different approaches to create ceramic and stoneware effects.
    *Adorn the finished mini pot with a delicately sculpted botanical element.

Join us to create your own beautiful Brooch. Seating is limited.

Full day workshop days are from 10 am CDST until 5 pm CDST Friday, June 5th and Sunday, June 7th.

The workshop will be recorded and available for 30 days.
