Over the four days in this workshop, you will learn various techniques to create tabletop sculpture, relief and freeform artworks to hang on the wall. The projects are designed to explore your creativity and develop your own unique style.
You will be amazed at how many uses there are for this easy and fun medium! We’ll poke holes and add string, and rope and we’ll glue rods to elevate small sculptural works. We’ll add color too.
We will draw inspiration from the beautiful coral reefs found in our oceans and use them to create unique relief artwork. You will also create a small artwork series by layering the clay.
By the end of this four-day camp, you will have a collection of beautiful clay sculptures that you can proudly display at home and be inspired to continue creating. So, come join us for a hands-on, fun-filled summer camp.
