ADULT COMMUNITY EDUCATION | ARTS WORKSHOP | 3 HOURS
Enjoy a delightful afternoon working with clay, foliage and flowers of the HCP, with instructor Monika Burrell.
This class is for the beginning creator
While we are waiting for Spring and the natural blossoms, we can create bursts of colour and forever blooms in clay. In this morning workshop, let’s sculpt forms starting with the interior of a flower and working out to the petals. I will have press moulds available to help us form the petals. Source materials will be available for specific flowers but forms from the imagination will also be encouraged. Once the workshop is over, your pieces will be fired, glazed, and mounted on wires ready to be displayed. Pick-up of your floral creations will happen approximately 3 weeks after the workshop.
The projects created in this workshop will then be fired, glazed, and mounted on wire ready to be displayed, and and returned by the instructor three weeks after the workshop. All the materials and tools for this project are provided; however, please bring an apron or wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messy. No previous clay experience is necessary.
Your registration includes all-day admission to the Gardens at HCP on the day of the class (last admission 3:30 pm)

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/
