Carve your own jewelry dish out of brown stoneware clay.  This is a mindful and calming exercise of slowly carving clay out of a thick slab of clay and creating divets, crevaces and grooves for you to store your rings, jewelry, and trinkets.  Ariella will guide you through the whole process, creating a true slow-art experience.  Once you are done, Ariella will then monitor your pieces as they dry slowly, fire and glaze them in your choice of the colorful glazes.  Your beautiful dishes will be ready for pick-up 4-6 weeks later. The Process: *Compress, shape, and cut a thick slab of clay *Slowly carve your shapes, crevaces and divets into the clay *Work slowly and mindfully, carving away the clay *Smooth and texture your piece using tools in the studio *Add shapes, carving, and design- making it your own *All materials, clay, and tools are included  *This workshop will last 2-2 1/2 hours
