A Bear Made By My Student

I invited my students to participate in the charity event I mentioned earlier.

This lovely bear was created by Kate, one of my first students. I highly appreciate her contribution!

My Hearts For Charity

The magazine my story was published in has organised a charity event. They invited both children and adults to make hearts and other St.Valentines day attributes, which will be later sold in the local malls.
All money collected from the sales will be used to help the children suffering from cancer.


I decided to join the event, and made some hearts. I feel so glad I am able to contribute.

I purchased heart-shaped boxes and decorated them with my clay flowers.

I was thinking to make a teddy bear for a long time, and finally had a chance to implement this idea.

In My Studio!

I would like to show you the pictures of my studio.

I love it sooo much!! It has panoramic windows and is so light and cozy. I was very glad when I found it!


Hope you will enjoy the pictures!
They were taken in autumn, currently we have a real winter with a lot of snow and -15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Farenheit) outside, brrrr!!

Me In The Magazine!

I feel soooo happy!!!

Yesterday, one of the popular local magazines for women  published an article about me and my studio!
Moreover, the editor loved my picture, and proposed me to place it on the magazine's cover, which  was a real honor for me!

The article is in Russian, hope one day I will have time to translate it into English.

 

It is a very busy time for me now, I spend major part of my time in the studio teaching my students.
I am so glad to see their progress and willingness to learn new flowers!

Hope soon I will have time to show you the pictures of the latest works of my students.

More Mirrors

I like both of them :))

Decoclay Classes C1 And C2 Are Now Available In Latvia

I wasn't blogging nearly a month... but I have a reason :))
I have finally opened my studio and started to arrange the classes on the techniques of flower creation of out air-dry clay Clacraft by Deco.

At the beginning when I started to make clay flowers, I could not imagine that so many people will be asking me if I can teach them how to create the flowers I make. So, three weeks ago I started my first workshops.

I feel sooo happy about it! I love to see the smiling faces of my students, love friendly and creative atmosphere we have during the classes!!!

Since I am certified Decoclay Academy Instructor I can teach my students Flower Course Curriculum 1 and Curriculum 2. Also I am arranging discovery classes for those students who have not decided if to join the main course or not.

During discovery classes I show how to make the roses and decorate the gift box with them, another discovery lesson include the brooch with gardenia flower.
Here are the samples I made.

These are couple of works created by my dear students :)) love them!

So, if you if are interested in learning the techniques of flower creation and join the family of Decoclay, you are welcome to attend my classes at Art Studio Marissa Fleur in Riga, Latvia.
For more information, I can be contacted at marissa.fleur@gmail.com

Bridal Bouquet With Peachy Pink David Austin Roses And White Stephanotis

This is the last of three bouquets I created for my Decoclay C2 course.

The bouquet consists of peachy pink David Austin roses and white stephanotis flowers.
I really love how this type of roses look, however it takes more time to create them than usual roses.
