Learn to create whimsical and realistic sculptures of animals, fruits, or vegetables in this introductory workshop with Mary!  She will expertly guide you through the design and formation of small solid sculptures in four short weeks.  Starting from a solid block of clay, students will shape their sculptures, then learn to hollow and re-assemble them with smooth, hidden attachments.  Mary will introduce students to alternative surfaces for sculptural forms, demonstrating use of acrylic paints on fired pieces in addition to traditional glazing.  All of these techniques can be applied to students’ further exploration of solid sculpture, and can transfer to other handbuilding methods, as well as thrown and altered forms!  All levels welcome!
