Margaret will guide participants through the process of making small maquettes – clay “sketches” that allow for experimentation with proportion, gesture, and composition before committing to a final piece. From there, students will bring their sculptures to life using methods such as coiling and solid building with hollowing, refining their understanding of form and structure. Demonstrations will cover techniques for carving and adding intricate surface details to evoke textures like fur, feathers, and fabric, helping you infuse your figures with realism, character, and narrative presence. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe recommend having at least one month of handbuilding experience before taking this class.
