Created by nature and captured in clay by you.  In this one-day hand-building course, you will create your own unique leaf impression bowl using leaves from plants in the garden or trees in your yard.  Press the leaf into a clay slab to leave a detailed impression and then form it into a bowl or tray for a one-of-a-kind creation.  Your finished project will be microwave and dishwasher safe and glazed in your choice of color.  It will be ready for pick up approximately two weeks after class.  No previous clay experience is required for this class.  All tools and supplies will be provided by the clay studio. Face masks optional during class.
