Beginner Level
Let's get together every week to sculpt some Avatar: The Last Airbender characters! In this class, we will sculpt one character each week using some beginner sculpting techniques. Each figure free-stands at about two inches tall. This class is excellent for beginners. 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. Students may follow along with the teacher for each step; however, creativity and originality is allowed and encouraged. Monday: Aang Tuesday: Zuko Wednesday: Sokka and Katara Thursday: Toph Friday: Appa
Learning Goals
Students will improve their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, concentration, and spatial reasoning.

I recommend this sculpt and bake kit: https://a.co/d/bzeawPO
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 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
