Description

Class Experience

Let's sculpt some Avatar: The Last Airbender characters! In this class, we will sculpt one character using some beginner sculpting techniques. Each figure free-stands at about two inches tall. 

Students will learn how to form a clay ball, roll a "snake", and use a rolling pin or other tool to create a flat piece of clay.  Students will practice cutting out shapes from their rolled clay. Additionally, we will practice making facial features and adding texture.  

This is a one-time class;...

Students will improve their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, concentration, and spatial reasoning.

I recommend this sculpt and bake kit. It is great for beginners and has tons of useful tools and colors. You are welcome to use any clay you'd like, but this is the set we'll be working with in class.
Bake at 260-275° under a foil tent for 25-30 minutes. After the timer stops, turn off the oven and leave your creation inside for 20-30 minutes to prevent rapid cool down. When clay cools too fast, it can crack.

Parchment paper
Sarah wrap
Ziplock bags (I recommend snack bags).

If you do are not buying the above set, you will also need these:
Clay - You may use white clay, but we will not be painting in class. I recommend pre-colored clay. 
Toothpicks
Sculpting tools (suggested but not required)
Paring knife or exacto knife.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Parental supervision is strongly suggested. Also, before class I will post a picture of what materials and colors we are using for the next class. I recommend your student gather the materials, set up their work station, and unwrap that day's colors before class.
