Taking its cue from our Folk Figure class, but more condensed and specific, we invite you to create a ceramic portrait of your pet!
You'll be guided through the basic techniques needed to create your very own small figure modeled or inspired by your pet.
You'll be encouraged and guided to add traits and sculpt your animal in a way that captures who they are and their personality!
Class one will be for sculpting. Class two is for glazing.

Our most comprehensive beginner class, only a little shorter! Over six weeks, you’ll learn the core hand-building techniques: pinch, coil, slab, sculpting, joining, and finishing, while creating functional and decorative pieces.
We’ll cover drying, firing, glazing, and how to design work that balances structure and creativity.
A great place to start if you’re new to ceramics, returning after a break, or wanting to build confidence before moving into more themed workshops.
