This hands-on 8-sessions (2 hours each) course will guide you through the entire process of turning simple clay into freehand sculptures or pots. Suitable for kids and adults, beginners and hobby crafters, each session will be uniquely customized to suit your age and skill level based on the course outline. In this class, you'll only be using your hands and some basic sculpting tools, no wheels allowed!
Your instructor Naqqash Kashmiri holds a degree in fine arts and is a teacher and artist for over 10 years. Naqqash will provide step-by-step instruction through the sculpting process and equip you with the skills to work on your own projects anytime again. You can book one session as a trial to get yourself familiarized with the introductory lessons, and book 4 or 8 sessions to learn more advanced techniques and projects.
