Paper Clay Techniques for Sculptural Forms

Join us at the Earth Center Studio at Tyler Park for a hands-on Paper Clay workshop focused on fresh approaches to three-dimensional design and expressive sculptural forms.

Designed for students with some prior clay experience (all skill levels welcome), this weekend intensive helps you develop a personal vision for hand-built sculpture while experimenting with paper clay.

Workshop highlights:
· Demonstrations emphasizing slab construction, with options to explore coil building, pinching, and other methods
· Material and surface techniques: paper clay, texture, colored slips, underglaze, decorating methods, and glaze application
· Studio time to work independently, plus individual and group instruction
· Group discussions and critiques to help you push your work to the next level

· 7 lbs of porcelain paper clay is included with the workshop
