In this Little Artists session, participants learn how to create a coil pot and other clay creations inspired by nature. Using air dry clay participants will learn basic clay making skills and coiling techniques to build unique miniature pots. We will be inspired by natural materials and their shapes including seeds, leaves and flowers to mimic their shapes and make interesting patterns.
Materials: Air dry clay, clay tools, natural materials (seed pods, sticks, flowers).
