Workshop: Create a Clay Heart Bowl with artist, Amy Block
Where: Sutherland Arts Studio and Gallery in Voorhees, NJ
Workshop Overview:
Join us for a fun and creative clay Saturday workshop where you’ll learn the art of coil building to craft a one-of-a-kind heart-shaped sculpture! Whether it’s a heartfelt gift, a keepsake, or a charming piece of home décor, your clay creation will be uniquely yours—infused with personality, texture, and love.
Workshop Plan: (Enjoy a free heart themed sweet treat on us!)
1. Introduction to the Coil Method:
• Quick demonstration on rolling and stacking clay coils.
• Explore examples of heart designs: flat hearts, standing sculptures, or heart-shaped bowls.
2. Design Your Heart:
• Choose your style: functional dish or sculptural piece.
3. Build with Coils:
• Start with a heart-shaped base as your foundation.
• Layer coils, spirals, and playful shapes to build height and texture.
• Smooth for a sleek finish or leave the coils exposed for visual interest.
4. Personalize Your Piece:
• Add carved initials, patterns, or hand-pressed textures.
• Embellish with small clay flowers or designs.
5. Finishing Touches:
• Refine your piece and let it set slightly.
• Discuss glazing and painting options for after firing. We will have 3 glazing options.
Audience: Perfect for adults and kids ages 8+. Guardians must stay with attendees under 16 years of age.
Takeaway: Each participant will leave with their handcrafted clay heart, ready for firing and future painting.
Let’s shape some love, one coil at a time!
