Craft a Cute Furry Monster Pencil Holder Figurine Store 135

In this two-part, hands-on class held across two days, you’ll create an adorable furry monster figurine that doubles as a functional pencil holder.

In part one, you’ll work with FIMO Air modelling clay to build structure and add texture for a soft, “furry” look. Part 1 will take place on May 20 at 5 pm to 6 pm in person at Staples.

After allowing time for the clay to fully dry, part two focuses on bringing your character to life with acrylic paint, exploring color, shading, and finishing techniques. By the end, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind desk buddy ready to hold your pencil and spark a smile. Part two will take place on May 27 at 5 pm to 6 pm in person at Staples.

Both session will be live streamed from Emily Chen studio.
