In this workshop participants will create a 12’’ tall detailed clay head portrait of the animal of their choice. Demonstrations will include armatures and solid building methods for animal sculpture and forming techniques with a focus on animal expression and realistic textures. Animals can display a wide range of expressions through gaze and facial movements such as snarling, roaring, and yawning. These larger head portraits will allow participants to explore creating details like eyes, teeth, tongues, and tusks in clay along with a focus on animal facial features. Sculptures will be designed as busts or can be made to hang on the wall.
