My first sculpting Workshop

Over time people have asked me if I taught sculpture, i have on occasion but only one on one. I am melding my creativity workshop with a beginning sculpting class. Details follow:

Awakening Your Creative Magick
Through Learning to Sculpt Nov. 21 (Sat) 5 PM- 8 PM-ish
presented by Molly Stanton (www.elvenelysium.com)


This class serves as an introduction to simple sculpting techniques. Through the learning of some basic skills we will explore the concept of creativity, why it is vital to your spirituality to express yourself through some media or other, and work at eliminating the fear that you may be "uncreative" or "not talented". The class is a melding of my creativity workshop and a beginning sculpting introduction.

Students will sculpt their own goddess figure out of polymer clay. You can create either an altar object or a large focal bead.

You will learn:

where your childhood joy of creating went
basic clay conditioning and building techniques
how to silence your inner critic
how to incorporate herbs, objects, and imprints into your piece
how to keep your creativity flowing
ways to finish polymer pieces
techniques for curing clay

You will leave the class with your own goddess created by you and filled with your own magic!

I will have some beads, plastic and paper leaves, glitters, paints, pearlescent powders, wire, etc. If you wish your goddess to be more personalized with objects of significant to you, you may want to bring them. Examples are herbs, bits of jewelry, small crystals, and so on. Whatever you bring will need to withstand oven temps of about 275 degrees without melting or be appropriate for affixing to your figure after curing.

$25.00 course fee includes a simple armature, clay, your own simple tools set, and embellishments. Saturday November 21 5 PM- 8 or 8:30.


Class will be held at Ostara 521 Main Street, Bethlehem, PA. To register call (610) 866-5577 or e-mail admin@awitchscauldron.com
