Take your inspiration from the amazing array of sculptures on view in the galleries to create your own 3D masterpiece! Designed for the beginner who wishes to work in three dimensions with the objective of completing a sculptural work, the course includes an introduction to the materials and tools required to produce sculpture using an additive process in clay and a mold technique in plaster. In addition to skill development in observation and proportion, contemporary and historical approaches to sculpture fabrication will be discussed.

Come hang out with local artist Ness Lee and explore all the possibilities with clay! In this workshop you will learn the simple techniques of slab work (working with sheets of clay that can be folded, curved, and joined to make different forms) and coiling (rolling out clay into a long thin sausage-like form that is wound round like a spring) to make your very own unique vessel. All ages welcome, all materials provided. This workshop is suitable for all skill levels. 

Join us for our 1 day family workshops where children with an adult caregiver will explore artists and artworks in our collection and get inspired to create back in the studio. This season we're exploring the work of artist Brian Jungen together in the studio.

This class is for 1 child and 1 adult. 

All materials are included. Meet in the Dr. Anne Tanenbaum Gallery School.
