This 3-day workshop centres on blending multiple faces together to create a creature with a convergence of souls, too many teeth and enough eyes to see where you keep your secrets.

Building an animal bust of your choosing, Jai will lead the participants through creating multiple faces so the features flow together smoothly, enhancing the feeling of movement within the piece. Focusing on features such as the eyes, teeth, and the moment where one characteristic meets the other. The building technique we will be using is to construct the creatures as solid forms on day one, then hollow out and reassemble on the second day. The third day will be for finalizing details and surface decoration, such as painting on underglaze and using the sgraffito technique.

By the end of these three classes, you will have an approximately 8” tall bust with the ideal number of faces, finished and painted with underglaze, ready to be dried and bisque fired. Included in this price is the clay, underglaze and one firing to have your sculpture finished. Tools are provided.

In this workshop Jai will lead participants through making their own 2-part plaster mold from a simply shaped object that each participant brings from home. Once a plaster mold is made, the participants will have the ability to reproduce these items by using the slip-casting or press-mold techniques. Jai uses plaster molds in their work to create sculptural mug handles and other repeated forms in their sculptures.
