Whimsical Landscapes in Air-Dry Clay
with Forsythia Thomas
Create your own tiny dream world in clay!
In this two-session workshop, students will craft a small whimsical landscape sculpture inspired by the rolling countryside of upstate New York and the settings of beloved fantasy stories.
During the first session, students will learn the fundamentals of working with air-dry clay using minimal and found tools. In the second session, they will explore a variety of finishing methods, including painting with gouache, acrylics, and PanPastels. Air-dry clay will allow students to begin learning about clay sculpture without access to a kiln.
This class is designed for adult beginners, and no prior art or clay experience is required. It is perfect for craft-lovers, fantasy fans, and anyone looking for a fun, low-pressure, and hands-on creative outlet.
