There is magic in the details and this is a hands-on experience where you’ll be challenged and taught how to go big and bold with your pieces.

In this three day intensive workshop we will be making sculptures with modified coils. Friday from 6:00-8:00pm, Saturday from 9:00-4:00 and Sunday from 10:00-3:00. Sculptures may be made as one piece, or in sections. Ideas can include making animals, people, urns, planters, or abstracts. Be prepared with sketches and ideas of what you’d like to create.


The workshop will include a three page handout of the topics covered.
