About this Event
To celebrate Kinship, our stunning exhibition of local trans ceramic artists at SUM gallery, we're pleased to offer a pay-what-you-wish (PWYW) clay workshop, led by Kinship curator Jai Sallay-Carrington.
In this 2-day workshop, Jai will lead participants through sculpting your own animal head from a pinch pot, at about 4” tall. Jai will show everyone how to achieve facial details such as eyes, noses and expressive mouths, textures such as fur/feather/scale, and how to add features such as horns and ears.
On Day 1 the heads will be sculpted with clay; on Day 2 they will be painted with underglaze. After the end of Day 2, Jai will fire the work in the kiln at their studio, Flaming Otter Ceramics (288 E Georgia, #130—one block from SUM gallery). Participants will be able to pick up the work from Flaming Otter Ceramics approx. one week later. Jai will email all participants when the animal heads are ready for pick up.
