Sculpting Workshop with Jai Sallay-Carrington - October 3rd and 4th Time TBD $150 per person.

In this 2-day workshop Jai will lead participants through sculpting animals using the technique of building as solid forms, then hollowing them out. On the first day of the workshop, the animals are built as solid forms, Jai will go over anatomy, the position of the animal and any technical challenges that might come up. Then on the second day, the animals are cut into sections, hollowed, and reassembled, followed by adding textures and details. Focus will be given to the details of the animal such as fur/feather/scale textures, facial features, and how to add horns/antlers/wings.

Clay and tools will be provided. You can take your greenware sculpture home, or we can bisque it for you for pick up 2-4 weeks after the workshop (depending on drying time).
