SUMMARY:Hand Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, we’ll explore the human hand as both a form and a language—something that holds\, reaches\, releases\, and connects. Together\, we’ll create expressive ceramic hand sculptures that reflect personal emotion\, memory\, or intention (or just a really nice jewelry holder!). \nYou’ll be guided through the process of building a hand from clay\, focusing on proportion\, gesture\, and surface detail. Whether you choose to create something realistic or more abstract\, this workshop encourages you to follow your instincts and let the piece become a reflection of what you’re feeling. \nAt the end\, you will get to choose the glaze color! (Cone 6 = 2 week turnaround/Cone 10 = 8 weeks turnaround) \nThis class is open to all experience levels. No prior clay experience is needed—just a willingness to create and explore. \nCome as you are\, and leave with a piece that feels lived-with and alive. \nTime: 6pm-8pm\nInstructor: Marissa Hakes\nLevel: Age 16 and up \nRefunds less credit card fees are available up to 7 days before the class begins. After that period\, the fee is non-refundable. However\, you may transfer your ticket to a friend.

SUMMARY:Wet Carved Concrete Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Wet Carved Concrete Workshop 3-Day Experience\nDiscover the unique art of wet carved concrete! Over three hands-on days\, you’ll learn how to create your own sculptural planter or vertical form using a simple concrete mix and specialized carving tools. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to dive in! \nWet carving is done while the concrete is still soft so no power tools are required. Participants will make either a small sculpture or planter about 14in high. Tools are provided but individuals will be able to purchase a set developed by the instructor. \nElder Jones has been wet carving concrete for over thirty five years. He received national attention on HGTV and Southern Living Magazine. His work and technique is featured extensively in the two popular books by Sherri Warner Hunter. He was represented by La Mesa of Santa Fe Gallery on Canyon Road for eight years. Currently pieces are available through his studio in western North Carolina. The www.sandpudding.com website has images of planters\, sculpture\, on site constructions and public art. Also\, there are photos of people and work from previous workshops. \nDay 1 — Prep + Design (1-5 pm)\nWe’ll kick things off with introductions and a short presentation on the wet carving process — what it is\, what to expect\, and how to design for success. Vertical shapes work best\, so most participants choose a tall planter or sculptural form. \nTogether\, we’ll: \n\nMeasure and dry-mix our sand and cement (3:1 ratio)\nLoad our mix into 5-gallon buckets\nSet up our individual workstations and cylindrical forms\nPreview example works for inspiration\n\nThis gets us ready for fast action on Day 2. If someone can’t attend Day 1\, they can come early on Day 2 and catch up easily. \nFinished piece size: approx. 10″ × 12″ or 9″ × 14″\nFinal weight: ~40–50 lbs \nDay 2 — Mix\, Set\, Carve! (9am-5pm)\nThis is the big day — our most active\, creative session. \nWe’ll: \n\nMix our concrete by hand and pack it into our forms (about 1 hour)\nPause while the mix sets (3–4 hours)\nView images\, sketch ideas\, discuss carving techniques\nOptional: purchase a set of 10 custom carving tools ($25)\n\nOnce the form is ready\, we’ll remove it and carve directly into the slowly curing concrete. You’ll have continuous support and individual guidance throughout the process. Most participants complete their piece within 5 hours of carving time. \nExpect moments of challenge… followed by meditative focus and joyful discovery! \nWhen you’re done — you’re done. No clean-up\, no moving the piece. Just step back and admire your creative endeavor. \nWe recommend devoting the full day without other plans. Maximum working time is about 8 hours depending on temperature and stamina. \nDay 3 — Finishing Touches (10am-12pm)\nA relaxed final session! \nWe will: \n\nTrim and refine the base\nSign the bottom of your work\nHose and rinse to remove loose material\nBegin the curing process (water submersion or periodic soaking)\n\nThen we clean the space\, celebrate\, hug\, and snap a group photo. Your piece is ready to travel home — or can be picked up/shipped later if needed. \nTiming is arranged as a group\, typically around 10 a.m. \nYou’ll leave with:\n✔ A fully completed sculpture you carved yourself\n✔ Knowledge of wet carving techniques\n✔ The confidence to continue at home — tools available to purchase\n✔ Concrete dust in your hair and a happy heart \nRefunds less credit card fees are available up to 2 weeks before the workshop begins. After that period\, the fee is non-refundable. However\, you may transfer your ticket to a friend.
