Mushroom and Snail Sculpting Workshop

with Eileen Bos

Saturday, August 29 | 12 – 4pm

We will be hand sculpting 2 elements with several different materials for this class!

Our mushrooms will begin with a foil base, which we will be covering in polymer clay & then baking.

Once our mushrooms are baked, we will paint them with acrylic paints.

From there, to create our snails, we will be using an air dry clay that is flexible after it is dry, called "Flower Clay" by Nara. Each snail will be adorned with a real snail shell.

Once complete, your finished piece can decorate a special spot in your home, or be placed into a terrarium for safe keeping.
