Course overview
Course description
Welcome to the Art of Clay Sculpture course where you will learn to use all your previously learned clay-building and decorating skills to make sculptural objects of your choiceWhether it is an animal; a building; a figurative sculpture or an abstract piece, you will have a fully qualified and experienced tutor (Jeannie McConville) on hand throughout to help you realise your ideas and plans. As the course progresses you will use your previous knowledge of decorative clay techniques and glazing (as well as learning new decorative methods) to bring your sculpture to life. The whole process will allow you to further your ability to build with clay, to improve your decorating skills, and to practice glazing; all by allowing you to challenge yourself to build something unusual, life-like or personal to you, as well as enabling you to play with colour, pattern and to develop your painting skills.
