There is magic in the details and this is a hands-on experience where you’ll be challenged and taught how to go big and bold with your pieces.

In this intensive workshop we will be making sculptures with modified coils. Sculptures may be made as one piece, or in sections. Ideas can include making animals, people, urns, planters, or abstracts. Be prepared with sketches and ideas of what you’d like to create.

The workshop will include a three page handout of the topics covered.

• Topics discussed will include:
  • Clays & Tools
  • Making attachments
  • Dealing with uneven thicknesses
  • Surface decoration techniques
  • Glazing techniques
  • Firing schedules
  • Fixing cracks/breakages
  • Caring for your sculpture

One bag of sculpture clay is included in the cost of the workshop. Additional clay costs $20/bag. *Firing fees are additional, and calculated to the size of the work. We will not be glazing in this class but can arrange for glazing the final sculpture depending on the size.

Cancellations 15 days or more prior to the start of the class will receive a full refund minus a 5% processing fee. Cancellations up to 7 days prior will receive 50% back.

Cancellations made the week of the class will not be refunded.
