Instructor: Diana Manchak. Date/Time: Saturday, June 7, 6-9 pm. Cost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee. Class size: 8-12 participants (Register by midnight on June 4). Session will be held at Del Ray Artisans, 2704 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria, VA 22301. Design and create a one-of-a-kind keepsake turtle. Students will use stoneware clay to hand-build a turtle by forming shapes from soft clay in different patterns and learn how to make limbs and head to complete their turtle. We will use a variety of basic clay techniques that are the foundation for all clay work. Students will select a glaze color or two and the instructor will dry and fire each turtle and return the finished pieces for pick up at the gallery. Students will be notified once the finished pieces are back at the gallery. Adults and participants ages 13+ years old are welcome. Please wear clothes appropriate for art projects or bring a smock.
