A73 Whimsical Boxes (Semiprivate)

Level A – All levels welcome.

Have a blast learning slab construction to handbuild whimsical boxes. Move from flat to free-standing using simple measurements and your own mirror image flat pattern. Create textured clay slabs to build the box and keep remnant slabs for sculptural elements. You will also learn to construct using clay texturing tools. Glazing for textured surfaces will be taught. These boxes are pure self-expressive whimsy!
