Sculpt Your Pet – Handbuilding Workshop (4,5 Hours including a 30min break)

Capture the personality of your beloved companion in clay. In this relaxed and beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to sculpt a small portrait of your pet using handbuilding techniques. 

Over four hours, we’ll guide you step by step through shaping, refining details, and bringing expression into your piece. Whether it’s floppy ears, whiskers, paws or a favourite pose, you’ll learn how to translate character into form. Beginners welcome – we’ll demonstrate everything clearly and support you throughout the process. You’ll leave with a unique, handmade sculpture full of personality.

The workshop is 4,5 hours including a 30minutes lunch break.

In the first part of the workshop we will focus on building the sculpture, the following two hours will focus on adding details, textures and specific features of your pet. We will provide different colours of clay and slips, it will be possible to glaze the finished piece in a transparent, white or black glaze.

We will provide tea and coffee throughout the day. Lunch is not included, so please bring your own. Alternatively, there are several cafés, bakeries, and restaurants nearby where you can buy something to eat.
