Ceramic Wren in the Hand Workshop

Join wildlife artist Liz McLelland and let your sculpting skills fly as you learn to create a perfectly palm-sized wren. Liz will guide you step by step through the process as you learn wildlife observation skills and hand-building techniques that will breathe life into the clay. You’ll see your charming creation emerge over the course of three hours as you refine and add texture to your design. Liz will take your wren back to her home kiln to bisque (first) fire and then glaze and 2nd fire for you ready to collect around 6 weeks later.
