Join us for a fun handbuilding ceramics class where we create jewelry organizers. We will use slab method. Skills & techniques will be taught. We will create these on Friday, July 3rd at 5:30pm-7:30ish. Cost includes clay, instruction, use of tools, & bisque firing. $36/student. Then on Friday, July 17th at 5:30pm we will glaze (paint) our jewelry organizers. If you need a different date for glazing, that is no problem. Glazing is an additional $36/student & covers the glaze firing also. You do not have to glaze your artwork if you choose not to but it will make it colorful, shiny, & more durable bc it goes up to full temperature in that firing. Please send a venmo for $36 to join the July 17th class with name & class to Explorations-in-art or PayPal to [email protected]. Located at 2163 Gause Blvd West in Slidell. We share space with Natural Healing Family Chiropractic. Our sign is on the window. Hope to see you there!

Pictures from our art reception at the end of our Summer Camp. Such a fun & productive 2026 Summer Camp 😊 🎨 🖌 ✏️ 💚 They did wonderfully on all their artworks!
We had other students drop-in throughout the camp but this was the main group from the whole camp. Such a wonderful group of tiny artists & my Art Family!!

Yesterday was our last day of Summer Camp (day 8). We had such a blast this year. I had such a wonderful group of kids. I am so proud of their behaviors, their effort on their artworks, their creativity, & playing together so well.
We worked on mixed-media artworks made on 11"x15" cardboard where they drew their subject matter of choice then went over it in hot glue to create a raised surface. Then we covered them in tin foil & then rendered them with acrylic paint 🎨. While I cleaned up the paint mess the kids played musical chairs up front. Then instead of a science project we baked homemade cookies from a recipe...fun fetti cookies. 🍪
We then had an art reception with parents & siblings showing off all of their artworks from the camp. Reception pictures will be in the next post.
Thank you to all of the parents & grandparents who entrusted your wonder kiddos to me for this camp. I have enjoyed my time with them & appreciate you!! 💚

Everything in the glaze firing came out great! If you see your artworks here & want to pick them up, I'll be at the studio today until 3pm, Thursday 3-4:30pm, & Saturday noon-2pm. Still have more wheel date artworks to fire if you don't see yours here. They will go in next. Thank you!

Last Friday we had a fun Mommy & Me class where we read "Night Night Dinosaur" by Roger Priddy & created dinosaur foot print fossil pendants for necklaces & little dinosaur sculptures out of clay. One will be kiln fired & they painted the other with acrylic paint & took it home. It was his first working with clay. They had fun creating & painting. Join us on Fridays from 9am-10am over the summer for this fun class.

Last Wednesday we had the sweetest Wheel Date of 2 best friends. One of them loves my wheel dates & it is her 3rd time. She has brought her son, her partner, & now her best friend also! Love it! She is perfecting her skills & it shows bc she created some really awesome pieces in hardly any time at all & her best friend did fabulous for her first time also. They were both so fun to create with & hang out with that it makes me so thankful for the fun job that I have. Thanks for looking & if you'd like to set up a Wheel Date then send a message.

Yesterday was our 7th day of Summer Camp. Today is the last day. We reviewed what we learned last week about Grecian story telling vessels from 900BC & then looked at the contemporary artist Cleon Peterson for inspiration for the exterior designs of these vessels. We got so busy that I forgot to take pics of the finished products. Then after lunch we created jello play dough from a recipe over a camp stove. The first batch we messed up but we learned from our mistake & the second 2 after thst worked great. They had a lot of fun creating these & measuring, mixing, & playing with them.

Yesterday was our 6th day of Summer Camp. Students glazed their sea creature pinch pot artworks & father's day presents, created father's day cards, painted lanterns with watercolors, & had fun with the science project of colored rainclouds using water, shaving cream, & food coloring. They had fun with it. All of their ceramics are currently being fired in the kiln now so they can be taken home on Wednesday.
