We do not all get to be pet owners in real life, but through this session, we can become pet owners in the art world. This is also a class for emerging sculptors. Students will use air dry clay to create a mini-pet animal to display, and will learn how to roll out and cut pieces or body parts and attach to the main figure. It’s not just a classroom…it’s a zoo, a wildlife preserve, an animal rescue, and an artist’s workshop.
