Join exhibiting artist Alex Tedlie-Stursberg for a hands-on workshop where we’ll explore the art of memory ware—unique, personal keepsakes crafted from found objects and air-dry clay.
In this creative session, you’ll be able to transform everyday items into lasting memories, all while learning new artistic techniques and celebrating the beauty of objects with personal significance.
Limited to 24 participants. $10.00 fee includes all materials.
Participants are encouraged to bring along small personal objects that may be incorporated into the final artwork, such as buttons, coins, bottle-caps, small plastic figurines, etc. All participants will take their completed projects home at the end of the workshop.
Open to participants of all ages.
Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult who is also registered in the workshop.
