Description

Large and small creatures have been an unrelenting source of intrigue for artists throughout history. Animals in Art: Ceramics participants will enjoy getting to know many different friendly species living on the Aldergrove farm, home of Art in the Country. Using preparatory drawings for animal studies, methods of construction will be demonstrated along with basic principles of working with clay. Many different techniques will be discussed as participants create numerous ceramic sculptures that will be glazed and fired.
