The Eccentric Orb

Details

BEGINNER FRIENDLY. PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT TOUCHED CLAY BEFORE. PART 1 - This is a relaxed, 3-hour hands-on experience where you’ll leave with something unique and entirely your own. All materials provided. Small class size and patient instructors. The Eccentric Orb is our signature workshop. No two are ever alike. Every Orb begins as an idea—or sometimes just a spark of curiosity. As you shape the clay, a personality begins to emerge. Each one begins as an idea (or sometimes no idea at all) and slowly takes on a personality of its own. Curious creature, enchanted dwelling, peculiar pod, fierce toothed monster, or something that refuses to fit neatly into a category... we'll help you bring it to life. Open it to reveal a space - perfect for salt, loose tea, herbs, treasures, or any collection of small everyday curiosities. Add a matching spoon if it suits your creation, or let your Orb stand proudly on its own. Wonderfully unpredictable, and impossible to duplicate, this is the workshop that has become the heart of our studio.
