Creative Animal Sculpture
Session One: May 26-31

Tina Curry
Creative Animal Sculpture

This workshop will cover the process of creating animal sculptures based on accurate anatomy and proportions. We will use photographs as reference, learning how to interpret them and how to make or find images that will be most useful. We will work with basic clay techniques: slab, pinch, and simple armatures and explore how to make skin, hair, and fur. The animal forms will require 2-3 weeks of slow drying before firing, so I will discuss finishing techniques and provide instructions for drying and firing at home. Students will also be able to create and fire some relief tiles. The workshop is designed for students new to sculpture and for teachers who wish to learn new sculpting techniques. Beginning level. Lower clay studio.
