Take one small step... into an imaginary universe with professional illustrator Stephanie Thatcher, for a fun two-day sculptural workshop, creating a space scene with alien creatures inspired by a galaxy far, far away!
Using moulding clay and wire, we’ll learn how to translate our preliminary drawings into three-dimensional characters, before carefully sculpting their detailed features adding expression and personality with paint and brush.
To finish off, we’ll build a small-scale diorama backdrop to represent the planet or solar system for our alien creatures to live in. Recycled, found or natural materials will add the final finishing touches to our outta space scene.
