Ceramic Animals
Nothing beats a small creature made of clay!
Using a variety of handbuilding and sculpting techniques, participants will create a small sculptural animal of their choosing. Students are encouraged to bring photo references of an animal they'd like to create, or can just show up and freestyle their realistic, or even imaginary creature!
Students 5 years and older welcome with the company of an adult. Class is limited to 7 participants.
Please check our FAQ’s page for additional information on the studio and read our Cancelation Policy prior to booking!
This is a one day, 2 hour class. You’ll pick up your finished pieces 2-3 weeks after the class.
Meet the Instructors
Lindsay Wood (she/her) began playing with clay back in 2015 when she took her first ceramics class at the Visual Arts Center in Richmond, and has been hooked ever since! Using handbuilding techniques, she creates both functional and sculptural forms. Some of her wares are carved with imagery reflective of her inspirations, joys, memories and nature. Lindsay has taught classes through local nonprofits Art 180 and Art on Wheels, and has been a part of the Hand / Thrown team since summer of 2019. She believes that art has healing powers, and can touch people’s lives by reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and encouraging self-expression.
Haley Renee is an interdisciplinary artist and has been handbuilding for 11 years. She has a BA in History and Middle Eastern Studies, and licensure in Art Education. Her research and work center around censorship, representation, and imperialism.
