Imagine and create fictional creatures in clay. Develop characters through an exploration of capabilities drawn from the natural world, combining properties or attributes from real organisms into fictional hybrids. You'll use basic hand-building techniques in clay to render forms that express the function of the creature's capabilities. Acrylic paint or ceramic underglazes will be used to color the creatures.

  • Artventure classes are confirmed two weeks in advance. All materials are provided.
