Flora & Fauna Chiminea, 26WT1

n this 5-week class, you will create a miniature chiminea-style incense burner–a tiny fireplace designed for grounding, intention-setting, and bringing warmth into the coldest months of winter. Using a blend of molds and handbuilding techniques, you'll first construct the form, then explore surface decoration through sgraffito, sculpted details, and other embellishments. Choose from flora, fauna, or your own symbolic imagery to make your chiminea uniquely personal. As the days slowly lengthen and the spring equinox approaches, your finished chiminea will serve as both a functional incense burner and a ritual object: a place to spark light, set intentions, and reconnect with your center. The final class will be dedicated to finishing your piece, with a focus on adding color and detail using underglazes. Please note: students are asked to bring their own Amaco underglazes.
