This class is an ongoing format. Students will sculpt a new animal every week. Each week is charged as a subscription on Sunday mornings. Students can join or leave the series any week. Prior attendance and knowledge of the subject is not required to attend.

Students will create freestanding, handmade pieces using sculptural techniques. They will learn how to consider volume, weight, color and form to design their objects. They will learn the difference between shapes and forms.  They will use rolling, coiling, patting techniques to shape body parts by building various forms and connecting them together. Instructors will suggest tips to work on small details like eyes, ears, beak, horns, furs and tails. Students will also be introduced to the Colored Theory and techniques of mixing colored clay. Precise hand-eye coordination is intensively trained in this class.

Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment. This is a highly sought-after class for clay miniatures fans.

Please read below for frequently-asked questions on our policies:

Mandatory Video Check-In
Video check-in is mandatory for safety purposes per Outschool policy. Students are required to have their cameras on to allow the teacher to check in and verify each learner. Turning on their video at least once is also a requirement to access the recordings of meetings. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference. Learn more about this by going to: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/4063624-learner-verification

Refunds & Missed Classes
All of our classes are backed by Outschool’s standard policy. To receive a full refund, parents may withdraw or stop their subscription within 24 hours of payment OR 24 hours before class starts, whichever occurs earlier. No refunds are issued if a learner misses a live meeting. Recordings are made available in each classroom and can be watched at their convenience. Students are always welcome to reach out with any questions and share their work in the classroom.

Late/ Missed Class
All classes will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message in the classroom and exit after ten minutes of waiting per Outschool policy.

Minimum Enrollment & Class Cancellation
A minimum of two learners is required for every class to run. In the event that we have to cancel a class, parents will be notified within 24 hours of class. Learners will have the option of either transferring to a more populated section of the same class or receiving a full refund, whichever is preferred.

Technical Difficulties
In the event of class delay/ cancellations due to unforeseeable technical issues, all families will be notified and a make-up section will be posted, or a refund will be issued if a make-up class cannot be scheduled.
