Sculpt a bird or animal in clay using a hollow build technique in this two-part workshop. Different animals will be covered throughout the year, each bringing into focus a different approach to form and surface. Each session is three hours. Check out the upcoming animals in the drop-down menu.
This class will be taught by Myrna, a member of our studio community with over 50 years of experience working with clay and 35 years of teaching. No prior experience required.
Myrna will teach you how to translate 2D reference images into a 3D sculptural form. We recommend coming with printed reference images of that animal in poses or positions you'd like to explore. Print outs are easier to work from than a phone screen.
All materials and tools are provided. We recommend wearing clothes you do not mind getting a little muddy or bringing your own apron. All materials wash out of clothes.
Work pictured is by the instructor and her students.
Your finished work will be fired by our team and ready for pickup in approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
A Note About the Process: At Makers & Clay, the focus is on the journey rather than chasing a perfect end result. Pottery is learned through repetition, patience, and practice, and even experienced potters make the same forms many times before they get them right. Because pottery involves many variables, pieces can sometimes come out differently than planned. While specific results can't be guaranteed, classes are meant to introduce people to working with clay or offer experienced makers a chance to reconnect with their practice or learn new techniques. The hope is that the experience sparks joy, curiosity, and continued making.
