Oyster Art Making Class - Dec 15, 2024
Dec 8, 2024 The Médoc Room at Meritage 2pm - 4pm
Join us in the Médoc Room for a 2-hour session on making Be-A-Pearl oyster art.
All supplies are included for making your own oyster project. The oysters and art supplies are prepared for you, all you need to do is show up and have fun. Our artists will walk you through step-by-step, and offer insight and tips along the way. You will end up with a beautifully crafted reclaimed oyster of your own making.
Additional oysters available at $15 per piece created, should time allow.
Beverage service is available, of course, with a couple of special features too.
Be-A-Pearl
An important initiative to Meritage and our commitment to sustainability and utilizing the resources we have at hand, we have created a program that offers multi-layered levels of support. For us, Meritage, our community, and our environment. To learn more: Be-A-Pearl.com & Maison Meritage
Instead of throwing them in the trash, we reclaim our oyster shells & sort them.
#1 - large and beautiful in their own right, worthy of preservation
#2 - solid medium-sized oyster fit for art and preservation
#3 - small oysters we craft into gifts and to share
#4 - great oysters for grinding up into backyard chicken grit, and excellent for mulch and soil composition.
We then prepare them for crafting, by first washing & sanitizing, then drying & baking them, then we prep the open face to be used as a canvas.
#2 are used for the Oyster Art making classes.
