Calm. Crafted. Connected

Sculpt a portrait in clay under an artist’s guidance. You’ll begin by learning how to observe a face, focusing on its proportions, angles, and the small details that make it unique. Then, you’ll build the features by hand, shaping the clay step by step.

No sculpting experience is needed. You’ll learn to observe a face closely, shape its features by hand, and leave with a portrait you’ve created yourself. You’re not just copying a photograph. You’ll learn to notice the small details that make a face unique and bring its likeness to life through touch.
