The Figure: metal and clay
Skill level: II - IV
CONCEPT: Lisa Clague describes her sculptural
renditions as hybrid creatures, evoking a place
between the subconscious and the intangible.
In this workshop she employs metal and clay
to guide the exploration of the human figure.
By incorporating these two materials we create spontaneous and exciting pieces. Lisa
shares techniques with fabric, stuffed animals,

sculptural forms. We also examine multiple
surface treatments, glazes and post-fired finishes. This workshop is designed to open new
