Spend the day sculpting your favorite animal in clay with international artist Puchi Noriega. Through step-by-step demonstrations, you'll learn techniques for building and hollowing out an animal sculpture, covering proportion, structure, and detail. Open to all levels, from first-time hand builders to experienced sculptors.
Students are encouraged to bring a picture of their animal of choice for inspiration.
Price includes clay and bisque firing. Studio tools are available to use, or bring your own if you prefer. Pieces will be hollowed out and left at Gumbo Limbo Pottery to dry before bisque firing.
Pieces will be ready for pickup approximately 3 weeks after the workshop. A clear glaze will be applied at no charge, or students who wish to glaze their own piece can come in on October 3 from 4–6pm for an additional fee of $20.
Space is limited to ensure individual attention. Reserve your spot today!
