This class is your opportunity to manifest your inner warrior in the form of beautiful, sculptural art pieces.

On day one, we’ll use paper clay to create the bodies and heads/faces of our warriors. Using different tools, wire, beads, doll parts and texture methods we will embellish the bodies and prepare bases to mount them on. These will need to dry overnight so we can finish painting, assembling and embellishing them on day two.
