Animal Forms with Claudia Olds Goldie

$220.00

Only 8 available

Saturday November 14 • 10am-4pm
Sunday November 15 • 10am-1pm

In this two-day workshop students will learn how to create an animal form using a single slab rolled into a cylinder. Working from both the inside and outside of the clay cylinder, students will use modeling, pinching and layering techniques to create an expressive, proportionate, anatomically convincing animal form. Claudia will demonstrate the techniques she applies to her own sculptural work, as she leads you through this exciting process that reveals the hidden form like a negative slowly developing in the light.

BRING:

Any sculpting tools you may own
Apron
Hand towel
Lunch, snacks, or water (there are options nearby to get takeout)

FIRING: Unless you are a member of our studio, you are responsible for taking and firing your own work following the workshop. We can fire for a fee. See our paid firing pricing here in our FAQs.
