ADULT COMMUNITY EDUCATION | ARTS WORKSHOP | 3 HOURS
Instructor: Monika Burrell
Two ornaments will be created in this workshop and one will sparkle with reflected light and the other will make tinkling and rattling sounds. The first ornament will be created with a pattern of holes in different sizes and shapes made from flat slabs of clay. The design of the holes in the ornament will allow lights to twinkle through the ornament when they are completed and hung. The second ornament will have leaves and berries pressed into the flat clay that will leave an impression and later highlighted with the glaze. Join the workshop to see how these will create sound. Wires will then be fired into the clay to string the ornaments on. The completed ornaments that have been fired in my kiln will be returned approximately 2-3 weeks after the workshop. Your ornaments could be used as Christmas tree decorations, or woven into a wreath as a focal piece.
For this workshop please bring:
- A small water container ( like a recycled yogurt container)

Instructor Bio: Monika Burrell
My name is Monika Burrell and I primarily work in clay making both sculpture and functional pottery. Clay has had a central role in my life for over 30 years and I live and work on the Saanich Peninsula. My work in clay is shaped by the local seascape and landscape, as these elements often appear in the designs on my pots. As well as making pottery, I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching pottery classes and workshops for over 25 years. My work for sale can be found at www.Emburr.etsy.com and my clay process can be viewed on instagram http://instagram.com/emburrs/
