Join Greenie DeShong as you knead, roll, shape, stamp/carve a clay pendant or medallion. You will design and create your unique piece during this workshop. The item will be glazed and fired by Greenie after the class, and you will be contacted once it is ready for pick up.

Working with clay is messy! Bring an old apron if you have one, and wear washable clothing. Outside shoes are not permitted in the pottery studio, so please bring a pair of indoor shoes. Please note: the pottery studio is a dusty environment and may not be suitable for individuals with breathing issues. You must also be able to navigate stairs (it is in the basement, and we do not have a lift).

“Developed Developed by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev in 2014, neurographic art is a structured yet free-flowing method of artmaking. Unlike traditional drawing, which often focuses on replicating a specific image, neurographic art centers on creating organic, neuron-like lines and shapes. These lines are then transformed by rounding sharp corners to create a visually calming and aesthetically pleasing artwork.” ~ from “The Art of Education”

Important note: our workshop is an introduction to this form of abstract art, and is for entertainment/creative purposes only. There are numerous websites where you can learn about the science behind it (i.e. No Drawing Skill Required! An Activity That Connects the Brain and Art - The Art of Education).

Participants should bring a black marker (i.e. Sharpie).

What the heck is an exploding/squash book?! It is a “book” constructed using an origami folding technique. When the book is opened/closed, the pages expand and contract. The sections of the pages can be decorated in a variety of ways using photos, poetry, etc. The ideas are endless!

The finished books are approximately 4.5” square.
