Clay Spirit Animal hand-building workshop, first session, Saturday October 26th.
Taught by Leslie Newton and Lyn Belisle, this workshop is an introduction to crafting stylized symbolic animals. In the first session, Leslie showed how to craft a spirit animal from clay using hand-building techniques, texture tools with easy but effective construction methods such as coils, pinches, and slabs. Lyn demonstrated textured slabs and shape-cutting.
Participants completed their basic animal sculptures on the first Saturday of the workshop. Leslie will fire them and they will be returned for surface finishing this coming Saturday. The second session, taught by Lyn, will feature cold finishes such as faux raku, acrylic glazes, and metallic finishes.
