Half-you, half-animal, all handmade. This creative two-week handbuilding course with ceramic sculptor Jonah Strub is all about sculpting animal-human hybrids (think self-portrait meets fantasy creature!). You'll learn handbuilding techniques, self-portrait sculpting, and surface design with underglazes. Animals can be real, mythological, or hybrids of many kinds of critters! Creativity and silliness are strongly encouraged.
Class Structure:
Week 1: Wednesday, September 10, 2025
Learn to sculpt animal bodies and use mirrors as reference to add faces to your animal.
Week 2: Wednesday, September 17, 2025
Carve, refine, and smooth your sculptures. Then use underglazes to ornately and colourfully decorate your creation!
Suitable for beginners and beyond, this workshop welcomes all skill levels. No prior experience is necessary - just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
*To get the most out of the course and to aide the instructor, it is encouraged to arrive with a rough idea of what you want to make, along with basic sketches and/or reference images.
