Leather & Clay: A Beautiful Combination
with Tom Slavicek

Thank you for registering for our workshop.

We're excited to see you there!

"Leather and Clay: A Beautiful Combination"

Students will get a chance to use various types of leather while enhancing their clay creations.

Techniques to be taught include colorizing leather pieces and accents, using a pyrography tool on leather, decorating clay pots/mugs/bowls with leather accents, "wrinkled leather" technique, "marbled leather" coloring technique, and more. 

  • Students are asked to bring several clay pieces that they have made, and we'll see how leather can be used to decorate them.

  • As a bonus students can also make a leather shoulder bag if they wish.

  • All leathers, tools, materials and instructions are included in the workshop.

  • Cost will run about $155 for the two day workshop, leather materials, and lunches included.  
     

To Be Rescheduled!
Watch for details coming soon.

In this workshop you will learn more about how to use glazes, stains, and alternative firing -raku- to elevate the surfaces of your work. 

​

Participants can bring their own pieces to practice the techniques and glazes on. Sunday afternoon will include a raku firing. Pieces will be limited in size (upcoming information) so that we can accommodate them in the raku kiln. 

​

Lunches and snack items are provided. A refrigerator is available in the Ellis's studio if you'd like to bring your own food for dietary needs. 

​

Location is at Something Southern Studio in Canton.
