Discover the intricacies of sculpting the human hand in this engaging hands-on workshop using natural pottery clay. Explore the subtle anatomy, gesture, and expression that make hands such a powerful storytelling element in sculpture. Guided by your passionate instructor, you’ll learn to shape realistic forms while focusing on proportion, structure, and movement.
Through step-by-step demonstrations, participants will practice fundamental techniques to capture the grace and complexity of the hand.
This workshop is designed for all skill levels, fostering a supportive and creative environment where each artist can refine their skills and develop a deeper understanding of the human form. Take home your sculpture to dry on your shelf or later have it fired and glazed.
