Clay Classes for term four are almost finished. This term we made millions of Christmas decorations. The Christmas Family: Joseph (the proud father)
Mary (adorned in flowers)
and a very cute Baby Jesus. These are not glaze fired yet - that's next week.
I have already had enquires about next years classes. Term one we will be slip casting bowls.
If you are interested please send me an email (msharpha@bigpond.net.au ) to go on my contact list. I will be sending out the information email in a few weeks time.
Current students are offered places first then when I know how many spots are left I email my contact list. It's a good idea to respond pronto as they fill up quick :)
My little Christmas Elf (up from bed for a "cuddle") watched me slave away sanding all my white porcelain Christmas decorations. After a while she decided to help (sand the same one over and over).
Here is a collection of them ready for stringing up and packaging...
Watch this space for more photos of my new Christmas decorations.
It is getting closer to Christmas and people are booking in to have their children's handprints impressed into a clay tile.
They make really nice gifts for Grandparents. I make two sizes 20x20cm and 15x15cm. These ones pictured are 15x15cm and fit one small child's hand or a baby's hand and foot. The big tile fits two children's hand or a hand and foot of a bigger child.
A few weeks ago Somerville Baptist College had it's annual Open Day. It was a lovely day of activities, food, silent auctions and of course displays of the student's work.
Here is a sample of the work my students made this year.
