Sculpting a fantastical figure will be a breeze in this half-day summer clay camp! Starting with a flat-relief figure, students will quickly progress to 3D sculptures of fairies, gnomes, wizards, or any other fantastical figure they can imagine. Working with proportions and using clay hand-building skills, students will give expression to a magical fired figure to take home and enjoy.

Students will decorate their sculptures with non-toxic colorful glazes and then Clay Center staff will fire them in our kilns. Pieces will be ready for pick-up within two weeks of the last day of this course. Absolutely no prior clay experience is needed to enjoy this fantastic week of clay fun!
