All Levels – No Experience Needed! (Ages 14+) Materials Fees Included
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at working in a craft medium? In these exciting 1-day (4-hour) workshops, you will learn new techniques and processes while creating hands-on projects in the medium of your choosing.
Try It workshops are for participants of all skill levels – No experience needed! Dress appropriately as you will likely get messy. Projects made vary and may utilize different materials and techniques per session/instructor. Projects examples may include but are not limited to: • Blacksmithing – forged steel hooks, leaves, or bottle openers • Ceramics* – handbuilt or wheel thrown clay mugs, tiles, or small sculptures • Drawing/Painting – sketching/drawing using colored pencils or different paints for still lifes, portraits, or scenery • Glass* – flameworking and/or fused glass (not glass blowing) marbles, beads, or small objects/sculptures • Metals/Jewelry – making metal rings, pendants, or keychains. *Some projects in ceramics or glass may require that you pick your items up at a later date due to the need for kiln firing.
We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and avoid wearing loose clothing or long jewelry. If you are in Blacksmithing, cotton clothing, jeans, and closed-toe shoes are required (no flip-flops or sandals). We will provide safety glasses and ear plugs.
Please check-in at Blaney Lodge between 8:15am-8:45am. The workshop will be held in the studio starting at 9:00am until 1:00pm.
