Description

BIRD SCULPTURE WORKSHOP Sunday 2 March 9.45 - 1.00 pm £60 including refreshments, all materials, use of equipment on the day, glazing, firing of piece, tutoring & certificate of completion. This half-day group workshop with our guest figurative sculptor, Christine Pike, is suitable for all skill levels. Starting with a simple thumb pot, Christine will show you how to work the clay to turn it into a lovely little garden bird sculpture sitting on a tree log. You will be shown how to add texture using a paintbrush. The piece will be approximately 14 cm tall. You will be offered a choice of glaze washes to enhance the beauty of your piece and give a professional finish. The glazing and firing will be carried out by Louise (ceramicist from Blended Monkey) and we will let you know when your sculpture is ready for you to collect (please allow at least 14 days). Your piece can be posted out by arrangement. The birds will be made from stoneware clay - so you can display them indoors or also outdoors as a small garden feature. This BIRD SCULPTURE WORKSHOP will be held in the peaceful setting of our Blended Monkey studios on the Cambs/Norfolk border. Numbers are limited to ensure you get plenty of 1-2-1 tuition. This sculpture workshop is suitable for 16+.
