Spend the day learning how to hand build your own ceramic bear in this small group workshop led by Brisbane ceramic artist Libby.
Techniques covered:
Breaking down the shape of a bear using pinch pots.
Sculpting facial features including the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Adding embellishments such as flowers, fish, or other details to help tell the story of your bear within the time limit.
Refining details and painting with underglazes.
Once complete, your sculpture will be dried, glazed, and kiln fired. When you collect your bear, you'll be taking home a fully finished original ceramic sculpture.
For those who would like to continue developing their piece, there will be opportunities to return and create accessories for your bear during Libby's regular hand building classes or at future workshops.
What's included:
All clay and materials
Glazing and kiln firing
Use of studio tools throughout the workshop
Your finished ceramic bear, ready for collection after firing
Morning tea & lunch
The example photographs are intended as a guide only. Every bear will be unique and your finished sculpture may differ from those pictured. Bears are approximately 10 cm tall.
*Please bear in mind that deposits are not refundable or transferable.
Libby is a fourth generation potter who has been working with ceramics for over ten years and has exhibited throughout Queensland. As Clairy Laurence's apprentice, she is known for her expertise in figurative ceramics and her ability to create expressive, lifelike human and animal forms.
