Being Creative with Ceramic Clay | Session 3 | 5 Week Series | Thursdays | Beginning April 16th 2026

Session 3 continues a hands-on clay series focused on sculptural handbuilding. Participants will complete two projects, beginning with a guided demonstration to spark ideas, then moving into a student-selected piece chosen from several options. Foundational sculptural methods are introduced on the first day to support both projects. The class is designed to build skills, encourage creative exploration, and lead to a finished sculpture while deepening appreciation for three-dimensional art. Any samples shared are intended as inspiration rather than required outcomes. Those with prior clay experience who did not attend the first two workshops can take part. The series begins with three building-focused meetings, followed by a dedicated glazing class. A make-up or catch-up session is included in the price and requires sign-up. The final meeting features a group critique and pickup of completed work. Instruction is led by sculptor Deborah Mae Corona, who has been mentored by Eric Blome, Anne Stryke, and Wanxin Zhang. She holds an MFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and teaches with an emphasis on both technical skill and intuitive development, approaching art as a universal language that can speak for itself.

Starfold Jewelbox

Discover a playful Zentangle-inspired art class that builds a dramatic folded star on a warm honeycomb brown tile from The Tangled Yogi, then frames a vibrant center filled with gem and pearl effects. Classic tangles set striking contrast against the rich surface, while jewel tones make the composition glow. Instruction covers shading that adds depth to the star and step-by-step methods for rendering gems that look glossy, luminous, and convincingly three dimensional. Tuition is $60 and includes a kit with three pens, two chalk pencils, two tortillons, and the tile needed for the foundational layout. An optional Prismacolor colored pencil kit with 17 specific shades is available for $42.50 to mirror the palette shown in the sample.

If purchasing your own pencils, a 24-count Prismacolor set, typically around $24.99 at Target, usually covers enough variety to complete up to four gems, while a 36-count set, often about $37.99 at Target, contains all the colors used plus extras for future projects. Prismacolor pencils can also be found at Michaels and Hobby Lobby, and a color swatch will be provided after registration to help with color selection. A brief lunch break is included.
