In this one-day workshop, create a blank in an instructor-provided press mold and transform it into an animal cup. Learn how to shape features such as eyes, ears, tails, and other detail elements.
Experience
Demonstrations introduce carving techniques and underglaze decoration. Working from handouts, examples, and animal reference images, create a map of features and surface texture on practice forms before building your final piece. Come away with one animal cup and the ability to create many more.
