Clay Faces Weekend Workshop with Michelle Louise Carter

Learn how to wedge clay, make sloop and shape it. Clay is a versatile material that has been used by artists for thousands of years to create sculptures, pottery, and other forms of artwork. Making a face out of clay can be a fascinating and rewarding artistic endeavour for several reasons. Firstly, it allows artists to express their creativity by bringing a unique vision of a human face to life. Sculpting a face also provides a hands-on experience of working with a malleable material, allowing the artist to experiment with different techniques and explore their skills. This weekend course is aimed for both beginners and experienced clay users. Come along and try your hand working in clay in a relaxed, fun environment. Be as expressive as you like and fuse human and animal faces together or use a photograph as reference. Anything and everything is possible! Learn how to wedge clay, make slip, and shape it with your hands and basic tools. You
will be using approximately 3kg of clay. The tutor will guide you through each step of the
way. The sculptures do not need to be fired in a kiln and will be fully dry to paint after 5 days. Please bring a medium sized box to take home your finished sculpture. All materials and tools are provided. The course is suitable for beginners. No previous experience is necessary.
A home cooked lunch and all refreshments are included per day.
