Charmed: Halloween Ceramic Jewelry Workshop!

Get into the spooky spirit with clay!
Join ceramic jewelry artist & instructor Kellie Kottmann for a fun, hands-on introduction to making ceramic charms. You’ll learn step-by-step how to sculpt miniature items, turn them into functional charms, and glaze them to bring your creations to life. Unlike polymer clay, which hardens in a home oven, ceramic clay is kiln-fired for lasting durability, rich color, and a professional, high-quality finish—taking your creations to the next level.

While examples and guidance will focus on Fall & Halloween-themed designs, you’re welcome to let your imagination run wild and create whatever you’d like. Each participant will have the opportunity to sculpt and glaze three charms. Two of your charms will be transformed into a pair of earrings, and you’ll have the option to purchase a necklace chain for an additional $5.

.925 sterling silver will be used for all jewelry. Gold-filled findings may be purchased for an additional charge ($10–20), and will require an extra week for pickup as these materials are special ordered.

Your finished pieces will be fired and ready for pickup within two weeks—just in time to show off your spooky (or not-so-spooky) style!

This workshop is intended for ages 16+! No clay or jewelry experience necessary!
