Make Beautiful Tiles: Talented Artist Shares Her Skill with You at Willow Haven Farm
Last fall while I was selling vegetables at my stand at Jim Thorpe's Fall Foliage Festival, I took a break to wander through the other vendors stalls. Some beautiful platters and bowls caught my eye so I walked over to talk to the pottery artist. The artist purchased some of my vegetables and ate them for lunch. That day I made a friend who loves nature, beauty and good food. Robin Neidelcheff has a gift for using forms and designs in nature to create pottery. She has developed beautiful glazing color combinations and enjoys teaching her skills to others. When I found out that she offered classes, I was eager to get on her busy summer schedule.
On June 25, Robin plans to teach a 10AM and a 2PM clay tile class. This will be a hands on event in which participants will collect leaves from the farm and press them into clay. These tiles will be glazed during the class and Robin will take them home to fire. Each participant will pick up the tiles and take them home. You can see an example of the tiles on the flyer and they are beautiful. You can see Robin's work at www.playtimewithclay.com.
If you would like to spend a few hours at Willow Haven Farm while learning to create a beautiful tile, please let us know soon. The class is $25. Children may also register for the class and the second child you register is $10.
Registration:
- Email the names of participants and your preferred class time to willowhavenfarm@live.com.
