Workshop Series: Sculpting a Hand

Jan 16, 2025
Jan 23, 2025

In this 2-part workshop series, you will be hand-building (literally!). Join Gabriel Lee, ceramic artist and former Artshack Artist in Residence, to design, create, and sculpt a hand. Create the basic form of a hand from a slab (standing on wrist or laying down), position and shape the fingers, hollow out your form, refine the shape, and add details.

Some clay experience necessary!
