Paper Clay Pinch Pot is a workshop for illustrators who want to investigate 3D easily. Paper clay is simple to use yet it affords many opportunities to get off the page without expensive kilns or glazes. In this workshop. Make imaginary nature, characters or everyday objects. Attendees will have tools, water and paper clay material available to them, but mostly you’ll be using your hands to make shapes. The short dry time will allow attendees to pick up their piece at the end of the conference to take home and color with gouache, watercolor, colored pencil or just leave white. Complete instructions on sealing your piece will be provided.
