Unleash your creativity in this hands-on 2-hour intermediate clay workshop guided by the talented sculptor Daril Atkins. Perfect for those with a foundation in hand-building clay, this class takes your skills further as you learn how to sculpt small portrait busts using stoneware clay.
During the session, you’ll work step-by-step to create a human head, focusing on facial proportions, features, and personal expression. Whether it’s a playful caricature or a more refined portrait, your sculpture will reflect your unique style.
What to Expect
  • Start with a ball of clay and sculpt the basic proportions of the head.
  • Learn to shape and refine the eyes, lips, nose, and ears.
  • Add creative details like hairstyles, expressions, collars, and accessories (e.g., spectacles or beards).
  • Ensure your piece is stable and upright while achieving balance in your sculpture.
Stoneware clay is versatile—you can let your piece air dry or later fire and glaze it to complete your creation.
Why You’ll Love This Workshop
This workshop is more than just learning techniques—it’s a chance to explore creativity and discover the joy of sculpting. Whether you’re making a whimsical character or a more realistic portrait, you’ll leave with a newfound confidence in clay modelling.
