Handbuilding clay mood shakers class will involve hands-on moulding of clay into faces or significant objects that you can fill with ideas, thoughts, or memories which can then become a shaker or noise maker.  You will learn how to work with clay, slip, and use tools to decorate or create your face or image.  Your object will be bisque fired and you can then later paint on it, or leave it as is.

Here's what Cristina Smith, Ceramicist and Volunteer says about claywork and handbuilding:

"You will get to work in a three dimensional way, using your hands to express your feelings with a pliable or nonthreatening material.  I think of it as a meditation zone where you can become absorbed in your senses and your imagination.  With clay, there are so many possibilities for expression.”

If you are interested in attending please sign up by emailing info@theartroomdenton.org, call 940-566-5802, or sign up during open studio hours.

We look forward to seeing and hearing your mood shakers take shape and sound!
