Metamorphosis: Creating a Figurative Sculpture

In this five-day creative exploration, Kate will teach you the techniques she uses to build her captivating sculptural figures using polymer clay, cloth, and wire construction.

The class will delve into the idea of metamorphosis, transformation, and magic. Kate’s Butterfly Transformation character is a teaching example, but students will be free to design and create an individual metamorphosis figure using personal symbols and meaning. Starting with a drawing or image, you will design and make a fabric pattern, then use wire to build the internal form that will animate your piece. You can use paint, found objects, fabrics, or collage to embellish your work of art. Kate will also have designs and patterns available.

Get ready for an extraordinary, fun, and inspiring adventure. Open to all levels.
