About this event

  • 3 hours

Young artists will learn how to build amazing clay pieces using hand building and slab building techniques to sculpt the clay, then learn how to use clay tools to create dimensionality in the clay and carve intricate details. Once the sculpting is complete, the clay will be fired and students will then learn glazing techniques to create details and contrast in their sculptures. Registration fee includes all class materials.
