Join Colombian American artist Natalia Arbelaez to model two- or four-legged zoomorphic and anthropomorphic creatures in clay. Natalia will guide participants through the process of creating reusable wooden armatures and simple single-use armatures that can be used to explore making quick and gestural figures. The workshop will focus on basic techniques appropriate for creating both rudimentary and complex forms. While these forms are rooted in Natalia’s research of pre-Columbian art, fun and play are an integral part of the studio. Surface will also be demonstrated, from adding washes to using Majolica to bring color and line to a piece.

All levels welcome.
