The Art of the Party (60 minutes)
Artists will have a lesson in simple hand-building techniques for clay. These include coil building, slab building, pinch pots, and carving. Instructors will have the artists practice these techniques as well as how to join pieces of clay, blend the joint smoothly, and how to add details using a variety of tools.
Once the lesson is complete (about 30 minutes), artists will have the remaining time to work on their individual animal sculptures.
The clay used is an air dry clay. Once dry, it can be finished with washable or permanent paints. All artists will go home with their damp sculpture, instructions for caring for their project while it dries, and a printed Orange Easel invitation to attend any Saturday morning Open Studio Art to paint their clay using our acrylic paints.
