Animal Sculpting with Jem Tong, May 3rd and 4th from 1-4pm

Unlock your creativity in this workshop where we’ll explore the art of bringing creatures to life in clay. You’ll learn techniques for sculpting realistic textures like feathers, fur, and scales, as well as how to approach stylization.

Over the course of the workshop, you’ll create up to three unique pieces: a small caricature, a medium stylized creature and a larger realistic study which will help focus on intricate details and lifelike anatomy for a more realistic creation.

We’ll combine demos, hands-on practice, and plenty of room for experimentation to help you develop new skills and techniques. Whether you’re new to sculpture or looking to refine your craft, this workshop is designed to inspire and challenge you.

Hi! My name is Jem Tong. Pottery is my home medium but I enjoy dabbling in just about everything else. My personal work is mainly in clay instruments and moving, dynamic carvings. I have taught since 2022 in CA and WA, and been touching clay since 2014: I love sharing the grounding nature of shaping things with your own hands and meeting so many cool people that pottery attracts.

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, but recommended for students 18+.

This Workshop will be in-person hosted at Saltstone Ceramics in the Wallingford Neighborhood of Seattle. No prior clay experience needed as this workshop will cater to all skill levels. The materials will be provided on-site. All firing services are included in cost, and the studio will glaze your pieces in a clear for you.
