Making Animals with Soft Slabs
July 24th & 25th, 2021
| This workshop will demonstrate how soft slabs can be manipulated to rapidly build basic shapes to create life-like animal forms. Techniques on darting, stretching, paddling, and slump-molding will be explored in addition to methods of assembling complex forms for stronger structural attachments. Tips on eyes and noses will be covered as well as quick methods for creating fur-like texture.
