Class Experience

You will choose your theme to create an entire set of Magical Mythical Sculptures.

In this 5 lesson self-paced course, students will learn the steps needed to create different Mythical Creations each week, including 2 styles of Dragons, Wizards, Magical Wands and Dragon Eggs, as listed. Audio and video will be used and each week’s lessons will be posted in the classroom on Sundays. We will condition, cut, roll and form our pieces. Then we will assemble our parts and get them prepared to be baked. The supplies are listed below and are necessary to complete the projects. 

Students will personalize their creations to look however the wish after the basic structures are complete!
