Character Doll Class or
How to Make a Wilderkin!
This is a two day class. I provide the clay and materials (clay, styrofoam, wire, tape, paint, glue etc). I am starting with 3 or 4 people so I can be right there for you as you're working to advise along the way.
We will learn about different types of clays (air dry and oven dry), tools, armatures, tips and tricks and all aspects of completing a character doll (wilderkin). We'll start with assembly of the head on the first day and the body on the 2nd.
Since this is the first class I am offering as much time as necessary to complete the project, if you need more time, I am willing to extend the timeframe for you.
If this interests you, I will reserve your space, contact Mari at 719-439-7303 or mugsyspad@aol.com

If you have a group of like-minded people who would like to learn with you from the garden to the end product, let's get together and build a workshop focused on your specific area of interest.
