Tree People! 1 Day Sculpture Workshop Using Pal Tiya Premium

Description

Tree people! Choose to spend a day at Dallacre Farm set in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, creating a unique Tree Ent sculpture for your garden using a fantastic non-firing clay, Pal Tiya Premium. Learn to model using foil and wire in the morning, then cover your armature with clay and sculpt the details in the afternoon. Weta workshop uses this product extensively to create large sculptures for private commissions and more. The first image for the event is a very large Tree Ent made by Kim Beaton, one of the founders of Pal Tiya. We won’t be making them quite that big! The next 3 images are Tree Ents which I’ve made in ceramic clay and the last is one I made using Pal Tiya. Ideal class for complete beginners, or more experienced sculptors that want to learn the techniques of this exciting new material. Learn how to sculpt the core in tin foil and wire before applying the product. As our clay doesn't shrink during the curing process, there is scope to use it over items such as glass jars, etc, that just isn't possible with normal clay. The product is simple and fun to use and you can take your piece home that same day! It will last outdoors in all weather as it has passed freeze/thaw testing and is incredibly strong! Because the clay needs a few days to harden, we will not be painting during the class. But you’re welcome to book in for another day and paint them with our help, or you can paint them at home. The beauty of Pal Tiya Premium is that what you make on the day can be taken home that same day as no kilns are necessary.
