Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts

A day to explore the medium of sculptural clay and have fun creating, while delving into the ancient heritage of the Goddess. Participants will create their own small ancient goddess from clay, will learn hand-sculpting techniques including the use of the dowel in clay, and explore texture and mark-making using ordinary objects and stamps.

Ancient earth-mother-goddess figures are among the oldest ceramics known dating back some 30,000 years. Participants will also explore the use of oxides, under-glazes and mason stains to add color and depth to the clay.

If time allows, participants will be allowed the privilege to create and alter one goddess pressing from an original Beatrice Wood mold.

The goddess you create during the workshop includes the cost of kiln firing and will be fired and made available for pickup at a later date.

No experience necessary. Bring your friends and your imagination with you!

Cost: $150. (Members $125.) – includes all materials and a communal vegetarian lunch.
