Hello wonderful creatives!

The past two years, I have been collecting the most beautiful organic materials from my beach:- heart-shaped rocks, the most beautiful driftwood, and seashells (simple oyster shells, delicate sand dollar shells and even broken and eroded ones alike) all of which whisper sweet stories to me of how to breathe new life into each found material when combined with paperclay.

I have been utterly captivated by the alchemy of this creative play and I’ve been dying to share more of this with you.

It is so natural and organic and a perfect pairing of mediums: nature and clay.

This class will be about planting ideas to incorporate your special found treasures in a keepsake way.

I hope you will join me on this journey as we create with The Nature of Clay together.

Much love, Jeanne-Marie

• Organic matter - shells / pebbles / organic matter

• Other items that could come in handy like small metal loops, leather thong for pendant

• Stamps - optional and always fun

What we will learn together…

INTRODUCTION : CLAY & SUPPLIES

I want to share with you how delightful finding and using organic matter combined with this incredible medium can create the most interesting works and precious souls. We will be starting small… with simple faces and talking about our found treasures and how each one can be incorporated into your clay… how each piece can start simply and move onto more elaborate pieces that tell incredible stories. Part of my introduction will be sharing some simple clay faces that can be stored away for later projects and adding them to found organic treasures.

LESSON 2 : THE CORAL SISTERS

Finding unique ways of using these interestingly shaped small pieces of shell/coral from my beach, was the starting point for this lesson which in the end created the most delightful hair. Right from the beginning, these two belonged together. I wanted to keep their bodies simple to show you that sometimes the most humble of forms and shapes are more than enough to create a beautiful story of unity and togetherness. We will be using napkins and acrylics to finish their story in paint.

BONUS LESSON :  THE BEARER OF THE ROSE

Using an eroded oyster shell that was beautifully formed in the shape of a rose and an already made face that I had available, to help bring her story to life. I found an eroded broken shell on my beach and I could immediately see how I could breath new life into it.

This bonus lesson is about how to make something beautiful out of broken pieces of nature and how combining it with PaperClay can mend many things. Anything is possible.
