NOTES: The first student to sign up for either the beginning or advanced Little Creature Class gets to choose what creature the class will make. These sculptures need to dry overnight and on the second day students will be sand, paint and finish them and they will be ready to take home.
Beginning Making Faces in Paper Clay Class...Cost $130….Two Day Classes….10am to 2pm
In this class students will sculpt a larger, 4” face, paint beautiful skin tones, make realistic eyes and lips. The finished sculpture will be a small 4+ inch accent piece to hang on the wall.
Advanced Mama Fish in Paper Clay….Cost $138….Two Day Classes….10am to 2pm
Students will sculpt a medium size 5” to 6” fish and learn to sculpt a larger face, paint beautiful skin tones, set in teeth, set in eyes, sculpt the fins and make a colorful lure. This is the class many of my students have been waiting for!!!
Beginning Mini Fairy House with Paper Clay...Cost $138...Two Day Classes…..10am to 2pm
Make a stunning small fairy house for indoor, weather protected use. The fairies on your lanai or your porch will be proud to call it home!!
To participate in an advanced class, students must have taken at least one of the beginning paper clay face or creature classes and have experience with Lenea Howe’s methods and the paper clay material.
Due to the drying time required, all paper clay classes take two days (about 4 hours each day). Students work together one step at a time to create a fantastic one of a kind piece of artwork.
All materials are provided to complete each project but students are welcome to bring their own decorative items (shells, beads, etc.) or paint colors.
Small class sizes of from 2 to 8 students insure plenty of personal assistance. There must be two or more people for a class to take place….if not...the class will be rescheduled. At least one of each of my classes is offered every month during the high season. But if the scheduled classes don’t meet your needs, I will be happy to work with you on any aspect of a class to accommodate your group of friends. These classes are just plain fun AND you will learn new skills!
In these classes you will learn:
Basic sculpture process
How to use paperclay
Color mixing and blending
Beginning decorative painting techniques
Dry Brush Technique
Care and handling of tools, clay and brushes
Antiquing technique
