at Mud Matters

Precious metal clay, or silver clay, is made of pure silver mixed with water and an organic binding agent. You can mold it into an endless number of shapes and designs. When fired, the binding agent burns off, resulting in original fine silver jewelry—99.9% pure.

Learn the basics of how to work with silver clay in our introductory workshop. This 3 hour session covers rolling, stamping, and other methods of creating texture and all the finishing techniques you will need.

Pieces will be fired during the workshop, so you can wear your creations home that day or give them away for the perfect holiday gift!

The price of the workshop is $90 (cost of clay not included). Precious metal clay can be purchased at Mud Matters ($50 for 15g and $75 for 25g packet). No refunds or rescheduling within 3 days of workshop date. No refunds/credits once a workshop has happened. Participants must be 18 or older.

$90/person

Come spend an evening in the company of Michael Fullwood, an expert floral designer.

Michael has a unique skill of enhancing vases and vessels of any size or design with just the right combination of flowers and other greenery. He has designed many shows and large exhibitions, including floral design at The Clinton White House and in the lobby of the Metropolitan Museum.

The evening will utilize fresh, seasonal flowers and ceramic vases. You are welcome to bring your own or purchase a vase from our gallery.

Through lecture, demonstration and hands-on assistance, Michael will walk us through key considerations in floral design and display, particularly related to ceramic containers. Spend an enjoyable evening in our studio and go home with a beautiful floral arrangement just in time for Mother's Day.

Bring your favorite ceramic vase, between 5" and 9" in height. (Mugs or small teapots are perfect if you do not have a suitable sized vase.) There will be plenty of vases for purchase in our gallery as well.

The $90 includes all flowers and floral supplies. It will cost $25 for flowers for each additional vase or pot, as our flower supplies last.

Wine and refreshments will be served.
