Small Mammal Sculpture Weekend Workshop

Weekend Small Mammal Sculpture Workshop

You will learn basic hollow form sculpting and clay hand building skills, shaping ,texture and fundamental elements for your  ( Hare, Cat, Fox or Dog pup ) sculptures. Your final design could change or differ than the step by step lead process as your sculpture takes on it’s own personality. This is based on the narrative exposed by positioning of the ears, size/proportions,  and elements of facial expression. It’s up to you. We will work a learning practice and hope to complete the final sculpture ranging around 8 &12 inches. We have had much success even with youth programs because we are working step by step building your sculpture with a practice techniques worked out on smaller sculpture done the first day.

You are encouraged to keep an open mind to trying new hand building techniques used for clay sculpture. We will guide you through the techniques and try to help you with some inspiration of narrative sculpture.
