Family Outings: Making millefiori clay crafts with the kids
It's nearly impossible to make ugly millefiori, which is what makes the clay craft such a great fit for kids.I recently took my 9-year-old son to a class offered by artist Layl McDill at her studio in Northeast Minneapolis.

Events & Classes
Bead and Button Class
BEAD and BUTTON MAKING
$35 supplies included
We start this class by adding curly hair to some funny little ladies and then turning those into beads and then we'll roll clay around in glitter and mica powder and more! It sounds crazy but you will learn how to roll colors of clay together to create amazing beads that can be baked in your own oven. Delight in the magical technique of millefiore which will make multiple beads that can be shaped into beads or buttons depending on how you slice it, dice it and poke it! No fancy equipment here- just your bare hands and a cutting tool and a toothpick and you will come away with a pile of beads and buttons to use in all kinds of creative projects. BYOB if you want!
