Mini Holiday Ornaments (Ages 16 & Older)
Teaching Artist: Kelly Darling
Using a simple technique, we will use clay to make small to medium sized pendants that can be worn as jewelry, used as a decorative ornament, or a charm to hang from the car’s rear-view mirror with a fun aromatherapy twist! By leaving the backside of the pendants unglazed, the pendants can absorb essential oils for a fragrant and enjoyable experience.
