Class Description: This class is perfect for anyone curious about transforming clay into recognizable animal sculptures. Follow the process from research and planning, through sculpting and refining form and texture, with a discussion of finishing techniques.
We’ll start with a discussion on gathering and using reference images–please bring any print or digital media you’d like to start with, along with a sketchbook.
Over the course of the session, you’ll explore essential hand-building techniques—such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction—while discovering how to shape, refine, and bring your creatures to life in three dimensions. We’ll cover using both basic and unconventional tools to help create life-like form and texture. Whether you’re creating a small figure, or a large dramatic form, you’ll build confidence as you go and leave with a unique sculpture of your own. No experience needed—just a willingness to play and create!
Age Limitations: Ages 16 & Up
Supplies Included: Tuition covers clay, firings, and use of communal tools and equipment.
Additional Supplies: Each student will need their own basic ceramic tool kit to get started. We have these available for purchase at the art center for $30 but we recommend you purchase prior to day one of class when we are open to the public, otherwise please bring cash with you to hand to the instructor. Please also provide your own apron and a personal hand towel to each class (We don’t use paper towels in this facility and we don’t do laundry!) Your instructor will email you prior to class with other suggested tools.
