clay miniatures
instructed by amy smoot
In this two-day class, students can construct scenes, recreate characters, or build their favorite objects all on a smaller scale! Students will be shown how to pinch and carve solid pieces of clay into 3D forms, adding as much detail as scale allows. Once miniatures are constructed, students can create a platform or container to hold their objects. On the second day of class, students can use colorful glazes to complete the look of their work.
