Using Mont Marte air dry modelling clay, participants will learn the fundamentals of sculpting small character-based creatures inspired by woodland and wetland environments. The workshop focuses on form, texture, expression, and storytelling through sculpture, with an emphasis on layering techniques to create fur, smooth skin, or organic surfaces. Emma will guide participants through the process, sending everyone home with one or two completed sculptures, plus the knowledge to continue refining or creating more at home!

Materials and tools will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their own sculpting tools.
