Hand-build a custom clay Mini Chimera Sculpture 10/3 from 6-8pm
About this Event
In this 1-night workshop, you'll be guided through creating a mini clay sculpture- specifically, tonight, a Chimera! Our goal in this class is to give you the best possible clay education while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. Specifically, we will cover how to prepare for and approach sculpture, building techniques, helpful advice, and guidance throughout your sessions. All levels welcome; advanced students will be given room to explore and will be guided towards their goals.
A Chimera, in Greek mythology, is a 3-part-beast, mixing a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.
The goals for the night are to explore a new art form, have fun, and make something with your hands! Ceramics is one of the most meditative mediums, connecting us with ourselves, the earth, and all elements. Go ahead and enjoy a night out full of good vibes, goofiness, and mud! :)
Your pieces will be ready for pickup approximately 4 weeks after the event (or can be shipped to you for an additional $10 fee). Pottery/ceramics need to be fired in a kiln twice (once for bisque and the second for glaze), which takes multiple days. Once glaze-fired, the pieces will be non-toxic and safe to use for drinking and eating; they can be put in the dishwasher and microwave but NOT in or on the stove. Both firings are included in the workshop fee, and you get to pick how you want your piece to be glazed (colored) in the end!
All classes and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 10 years old; any person under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Note: Shahane will be the instructor! She has taught pottery since 2016, got her BFA in ceramic arts in 2015 with a double minor in art history and psychology, and owns Pudgy's Place with her husband Phillip :)
