Adult Pottery: “The Rose” National Emblem Bowl with Linda LaRock

Description

Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States with this fun pottery project! The rose is our National flower and is tied to some of the most important events in a person’s life. It signifies mourning, love, and affection. During this class, you will learn how to build a rose petal by petal. Starting with a very thin, soft slab of clay, you will cut out each leaf. Then, leaf by leaf, you will roll them and sculpt them into a rose. This practice is very similar to the process used in creating paper or tissue flowers. If you so desire, you may add a colorant to your clay instead of glazing it. At the end, you will learn how to attach your rose to a small, shallow bowl (already provided). Once completed, this bowl can be used decoratively or as a tea bag saucer. All levels are welcome to join, ages 18+. The cost of this class includes 2 lbs. of clay. Additional clay is available for purchase. The cost of the firing fee and glazing fee depends on the size and shape of your project.
