Valentine’s Ceramic Charm Workshop

Celebrate, love, friendship, and creativity in this hands-on ceramic jewelry sculpting workshop! No jewelry or sculpting experience necessary!

Join ceramic jewelry artist & instructor Kellie Kottmann for a fun, hands-on introduction to making ceramic charms. In this beginner friendly workshop, 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!

While examples and guidance will focus on Valentine’s 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 to be made into 1 necklace & 1 pair of earrings.

After, this workshop, Kellie will fire and assemble your pieces. 925 sterling silver will be used for all jewelry. Gold-filled findings may be purchased for an additional charge ($10), 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 and you will receive an email notification!

This workshop is intended for anyone 16+! No clay or jewelry skills required!
