✔ Botanical Pressing – Pressing leaves, flowers, ferns, and stems into the clay for texture.
✔ Under glazing & Oxides – Highlighting textures and bringing out natural patterns.

Throughout the class, you'll work with high-quality materials and tools, ensuring that your creations turn out just the way you envision them. There's something truly therapeutic about working with clay and immersing yourself in a creative activity.
