I am thrilled to announce that Stephanie Lee will be teaching Hand Formed | Simple Sculpting {sculpting with plaster and clay} beginning THIS Monday!
This is the perfect time to create special gifts that really mean something special for the holidays.
Stephanie is creating a course that will teach you the basics and beyond and you will walk away with multiple sculptures for yourself or others.
There are few mediums that I enjoy as much as plaster and clay!
Registration is $34.99. The course will be available on November 24th and the videos will be available for one year.

Here is a peek into the course…
“Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.”
-Damien Hirst
In this playful exploration of three dimensional form, we will dive into the fundamentals of creating stable and long-lasting sculptures using plasters and clays that are readily accessible, fun to work with, and easily modified to create whatever form you want.
During the week of this jam packed course, we will build multiple projects from start to finish with each project emphasizing different techniques that can all be adapted and modified to be combined with all the other techniques taught in the course. Each project will demonstrate a different armature or foundation construction approach so that you can feel confident in the stability of your beautiful pieces no matter what the final form is.
Once we have a stable foundation shape, we will explore various finishing and textural effects using paint, carving, sanding, finishing with encaustic medium, and incorporating paper ephemera & found objects. You can expect to get a bit messy but will enjoy that you most of the projects demonstrated can be created from start to finish in a day or less even with no prior sculpting experience.
Share the joy of the journey of this course with children or friends in playful collaboration or dive in the learning as sacred personal creative time to build objects of lasting beauty and joy.
