Make your own!

One of the best things about making a Wilderkin is once you've given them a smile, it's hard not to smile back as your character begins to emerge from the clay. Another best thing is, anyone can do it and my personal belief is we all have little characters living within us  

Classes

Make a character doll

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A TWO DAY WORKSHOP. JANUARY 13TH & 14TH.
I provide the clay and materials (clay, styrofoam, wire, tape, paint, glue etc).

We will learn about different types of clays (air dry and oven dry), tools, armatures, tips and tricks and all aspects of completing a character doll (wilderkin). We'll start with assembly of the head focusing on the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and hair on the first day and completing the project with the body on the 2nd.

This is a small class so I can be right there for you as you're working to advise along the way. Take as much time as necessary to complete the project, if you need more time, I am willing to extend the timeframe for you.
