Join this air-drying clay workshop and discover the joy of sculpting by hand.
Perfect for beginners, this class uses accessible clay that hardens without a kiln, making it easy to continue your practice at home. Your experienced instructor, Rachel Akers, will guide you through the properties of the material, helping you get comfortable with kneading, rolling and shaping. There is no need to worry about previous artistic experience; the environment is supportive and designed to help you relax.
You can choose from a range of project inspirations, such as bowls, ornaments or figures, or work on your own unique design. With all materials provided, you will have the time and space to experiment with different forms.
- Learn the basics of working with air-drying clay
- Master techniques including pinching, coiling and smoothing
- Discover how to add texture and personalise your creations to hide imperfections
You will leave the workshop with a sense of accomplishment and your own handmade creation. You will take home not just a physical object, but the relaxation that comes from working with your hands and the know-how to create future clay projects.
