In this two-day, hands-on workshop, participants will stretch their imagination to create fun characters, human or animal! The small sculptures will actually be functional cups. The first day of class will be spent working in wet clay. Jane will discuss basic anatomy and proportions and will demonstrate slab building and modeling techniques. The cups will be bisque fired and students will return for a half day class to apply the final surface color. Underglazes will be used as stains and washes similar to watercolor. The cups will be glaze fired and ready for pick up after the workshop.
