My animal sculpture workshops are suitable for all abilities, including beginners and those that have experience and would like to improve. Starting from a slab of clay I will show you step by step how to hand build your animal creation, using various sculpting skills. Once your sculpture is complete you will be able to add colour with slips and underglazes. Your completed sculpture will need to dry and then be fired in a kiln before you can collect it at a later date. Workshops are 4 - 6 people
