About this Event
Terracotta Dragon Sculpture Workshop with Helen McCormick
Hello! My name is Helen McCormick, and I'm a local ceramic artist and teacher with 28 years of experience crafting beautiful objects from clay. My passion for pottery runs deep, and I love sharing my skills, knowledge, and creative techniques with others.
Join me for this hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to sculpt your very own dragon from rich terracotta clay. I’ll guide you step by step through traditional hand-building methods, helping you shape, form, and bring your mythical creature to life.
As the workshop progresses, you’ll discover how to add texture and intricate details, refining your masterpiece into a striking, one-of-a-kind work of art.
All materials and equipment will be provided. Tea and Coffee will be available throughout the workshop. The only thing you need to bring is a packed lunch and an apron or wear old clothes.
After the workshop, I will carefully take your sculpture home and fire it in my kiln. These sculptures are not glazed as the terracotta will age beautifully in your garden over time. Your sculpture will be ready to collect approximately 6 weeks after the workshop from the Walronds. I will let you know the date and time.
NB: I am happy to store your work for 6 months from the collection date, after which time your work will be donated to charity.
There is FREE parking at the Walronds. The carpark is located at the back of the building. To access the carpark you will need to turn up Tiverton Road off the High Street, and then turn left just before the fire station onto Shortlands Lane. It is a narrow lane and easily missed. Drive a few yards up the lane and you will see the sign for the carpark on the left. Turn left and follow the drive through the gate ahead. Here is a link to Google Maps which should take you right to the carpark entrance. https://goo.gl/maps/JKfioUFi3FCSnCHJ9
