About The Class
Instructor: George Rodriguez
Medium: Clay/Handbuilding
Workshop Title: The Embellished Creature
Explore a rich world of possibility in this fun sculpture class that bridges animal personality and spirit. Consider: the year of the horse, guardian lion, or fantastical creatures. Working from photographs and drawings, create animal-inspired vessels using slab and modeling techniques. Creatures will be embellished using one-part sprig molds made in plaster, adding high-relief texture to the surface.
Open to all skill levels.
