Those who took the first body parts class will want to check this session out!
This will be a class focusing on individual human body parts, and will not have a finished project at the end. You will, however, have some very fine looking hands, feet & torsos to take home. This is very useful whether you want to sculpt realistic humans or would rather make goblins & aliens. Be prepared to stare at your classmates and get clay all over yourself. Really, it's a lot of fun.

No Wheels, No Slab Rollers or Extruders! We won’t need them. You will be using very primitive hand building techniques to make a pizza baker that can be used on a gas burner. Pizzas come out with a crisp-crust and are, I must say, delicious. (A pizza party will be in order after the final results to show off our culinary skills!)
