Cost: $390 / person plus materials (clay, hand tools)
Learn to sculpt a realistic animal in a fun 8 week class for beginning students. Adult students will learn in a supportive small class setting with instruction from our teaching artist, Ron Wilson. You’ll learn to create a realistic animal portrait in porcelain working from photos. Your work will be colorized with underglazes and finish-fired.
Ron Wilson is the owner of Roadrunner Ceramics, and has been doing pottery for a decade. A native San Antonian, Ron has studied portrait sculpture at Southwest School of Art, with Alicia Ponzio and Phillipe Faraut. He’s photographed and sculpted animals in Zambia with Nick Mackman. He throws functional and decorative work, as well as sculpting realistic animal and human subjects. He enjoys the process of introducing newcomers to the clay experience.
Your class fee includes use of sculpture stands, armatures and firing. Clay and hand tools will be available for purchase. You may bring and use your own tools, but clay must be purchased through Roadrunner to avoid kiln mishaps with unknown clay. We are limiting enrollment to nine students to allow for social distancing, and ask students to mask. This should be an exciting and informative class.
