A little early for #throwbackthursday”, but this image popped up in my “memories” today. June 4, 2017. I was living in West Chester, PA and my studio was in my house. I was teaching at @chestercountyartassociation and @wayne_art_center. My, my how things have changed. LOL

I still love working with clay and teaching art, and I’m really super proud of following my dream to open my own studio and being able to share that passion with others. ❤️ It was hard leaving my big kids to move to PHX, but something inside me said my destiny was here and I needed to go.

It’s important to look back on where we came from to be able to monitor our progress. Tomorrow isn’t promised, but today is a gift and that’s why we call it the present. Presently, I’m pleased with what I’ve accomplished and the contributions I’ve been able to make to my community and to art education. I’m not sure what life will throw at me or what the future will bring, but I know it will always include art!

Dream big, and don’t be afraid to follow those dreams. 💖

Finally catching up on posting pics from our Saturday classes!

Perfect for beginners interested in both clay hand building and candle making! In this two-part workshop, you will first learn to craft your own ceramic candle containers from clay with Laurie. Use clay slabs to construct your own candle holders and personalize with texture stamps and glazes.

Then, return to the studio after your projects have been fired to learn how to pour your own candles. Candles will be made of all-natural soy wax, and you will learn how to choose the right wicks, add scents, and so much more!

Once candles burn out, the ceramic container can be cleaned and reused as a cup forever! Or, for a small fee, you can bring it back to the studio for refills!

Participants will make 2 container candles, and a few tea lights. All materials are included. Participants can choose to have their pieces dip glazed by staff, or to return and paint their candle containers themselves. Please plan to glaze by 6/3 so we have time to refire for you by candle pouring portion on 6/14!

I spy with my little eye this cute bun bun sneaking a snack from our prototype bird feeder. 😍

We even had a squirrel climbing in for treats the other morning and we’ve never had a single squirrel in our yard since we moved in eight years ago. So the word is getting out around the neighborhood that we’ve got snackies. 😋 The good news is, it actually also attracts the birds we designed it for, and these other friends are bonus buddies. 🤩😊🤩

Look for more bird houses and feeders to be hitting our shelves and Etsy shop soon! 🕊️🐣🐦‍⬛

NEW CLASS ALERT!! Ceramic Garden Flowers!!🌺 🌸🌼

My Mom & Grandma were both amazing gardeners. They could take tiny cuttings of plants and nurture them into huge bushes overflowing with blooms. Somehow, this gene was not passed down to me. I have killed everything from cactus to bamboo - all the things that are supposed to be “soooooo easy” to keep alive. If this sounds like you, and you kill as many plants as I do, this might be the class you are looking for! 💐

A colorful garden is now within your reach! In this two-part class we will teach you how to transform clay slabs into a beautiful flower that will live FOREVER - no watering or special care required. No clay experience is necessary for this fun, family friendly class. During part one, we will press clay slabs into a mold, shape and add texture to create our flowers. After our flowers have been bisque fired, you will return for part two to customize your flower by painting with glazes.

Flowers will be crafted from stoneware clay making it durable enough to withstand the AZ desert landscapes, and mounted on rebar for easy installation in your yard. After the glaze firing, we will mount your flower on rebar so that they are ready to go right into your garden! Finished flowers will be about 5-6” in diameter. Rebar will be approximately 24” tall.

Part 1: Crafting Clay Flowers 6/7
Part 2: Glazing Ceramic Flowers 6/28
Flowers will be ready for pick up 7/19

I spent the morning at @rogers_ranch_school volunteering to teach Kinder students paper marbling for their STEM career day. 🧑🏼‍🎓

We spread shaving cream on a plate, swirled food coloring into it and pressed our card stock on top. Then we peeled it off and used paint sticks to remove the shaving cream for the “big reveal”. 👀 The kids were so excited about the whole process and were amazed at their results. 🤩 It was adorable.

I didn’t want to take pics of the kids, but here are a few of their projects. ❤️

Kinder teachers will laminate them so they can be used as bookmarks! 📚📖📚

Thanks @kgretkierewicz and @jess_neill for inviting me to work with your little artists! 🎨
