What will you practise?
- Measuring relative proportions of objects and translating the measurements into a 3D shape
- Observing how clay behaves: how thin you can make it without compromising the material’s integrity
- Making shapes that won’t crack once they dry
- Using wooden tools to add details
- Making animals from clay or you can choose another subject matter, for example, people or natural forms

What materials will you need?
Clay and 1 wooden sculpting tool
What will we create?
For the first lesson, I suggest starting with a relief sculpture, which has one side flat and one side three dimensional. Then in subsequent lessons, we can create a sculpture that is 3D all around.

FAQ
I have no previous experience with sculpture, can I still try?
Absolutely. This lesson is suitable for absolute beginners.
Do I need to bring my own materials?
There are two options: you can bring your own materials or I can buy clay for you. If you choose the second option, I will ask you to reimburse me.
Can I choose what I will be making?
Absolutely. You can tell me what you want to create, and we can focus on that.
