Intermediate | TBD Materials and Studio Fees*

Participants will flex their imaginative muscles to create original creatures in clay. They will consider the impactful meanings behind different types of creature combinations and what they would like to communicate with them. Participants will combine reference images to brainstorm different ways to create original creatures and explore various handbuilding and texturing techniques to make detailed and dynamic forms, with a primary focus in solid building techniques.

Prerequisites: Basic handbuilding skills strongly recommended such as slab building, coiling, and pinching.

*Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
