6/30 Young Artist Series - Intaglios

Join me for a charming botanical intaglio workshop for kids ages 8–12! In this hands-on class, students will roll out air-dry clay and press flowers, leaves, and other natural elements into the surface to create delicate raised impressions inspired by vintage European intaglios. Each child will shape their design into a circular keepsake and mount it inside one of my signature 6x6” gold bamboo matted frames for an elegant finished piece.

This project beautifully combines nature, texture, and timeless design into artwork that feels both creative and sophisticated. After class, I will carefully finish each intaglio by gilding the edges with gold paint and sealing the surface once dry for a polished final touch. Finished pieces will be available for pickup approximately two days after the workshop

Class size is intentionally capped at 6 students to create a relaxed, hands-on experience. Classes will take place in my dining room and kitchen studio in South Wheaton, near Arrowhead Golf Club. Because spots tend to fill quickly, I recommend booking groups together when possible.

The week before the event, I will email parents with my address, parking information, and any additional details.

From time to time, I may photograph or film student artwork or close-up shots of hands creating for use on my website, social media, or marketing materials. I will never photograph children’s faces, as I strongly value children’s privacy. By registering for this class, you agree to these terms
