Fantasy Island in Clay

Learn a number of simple hand-building techniques to create fantasy creatures and animals on their very own clay island, from pinch pots and slab rolling to sculptural detailing. You’ll explore how to shape expressive features, add texture and pattern, and bring personality to your pieces through imaginative design. Once your forms are complete, experiment with colourful glazes to enhance details, create depth, and make your creations truly one of a kind.

All pieces will be fired and clear glazed at WFAC.
