Service Description
This class is held at our West Oakland studio and is a 6 week class. Playful Sculptures! Tuesdays 6:15PM-8:45PM 9/29 - 11/3 Instructor: Millie Villacastin This six-week class is all about embracing the weird, playful, and wonderfully kitschy side of ceramics. Students will learn the basics of handbuilding and sculptural construction while creating whimsical characters, objects, and creatures that don’t take themselves too seriously. Through hands-on demonstrations and projects, we’ll explore form, texture, attachment techniques, surface decoration, and finishing. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s learning how to play with clay, develop your own visual language, and make something that makes you smile. Week 1: Introduction to Clay & Playful Ideas Week 2: Building Characters (Form, Structure, & Personality) Week 3: Texture & Details Week 4: Sculptural Objects With A Purpose! Week 5: Final Touches & Refinement! Week 6: GLAZE & POTLUCK DAY
