A Bird in the Hand, 26WT2

Soar through the winter blues and get ready to welcome the birds back with this 5-week handbuilding class! You'll create your very own handheld bird sculptures–because one bird in the hand truly is worth more than two in the bush! Using your chosen reference image, you'll explore a variety of handbuilding methods to bring your feathered friend to life. Learn techniques such as building hollow forms, shaping expressive details, and experimenting with surface design. We'll also cover decorative approaches with underglaze to add vibrant color and personality to your sculpture. Whether you're completely new to clay or an experienced maker, you'll leave with new skills, inspiration, and a bird that's uniquely your own. Please note: students are asked to bring their own Amaco underglazes.
