Ceramic Mole Army

Join wildlife artist Liz McLelland and dig into clay sculpting as you learn to create a ceramic
mole to join the Mole Army! Liz will guide you step by step through the process as you learn
wildlife observation skills and hand-building techniques that will breathe life into the clay.

You’ll see your creation emerge over the course of three hours as you refine and add texture
to your design. Liz will take your finished mole back to her home kiln to bisque (first) fire and
then glaze and 2nd fire for you ready to collect around 6 weeks later.

What’s included
• Step-by-step tuition, suitable for beginners or those looking to progress their clay sculpting skills.
• All materials and tools, including an apron.
• A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere
• Tea, coffee and biscuits

Liz’s guided step-by-step workshops are designed to teach you core clay sculpting skills that
can be applied to other hand building projects should the clay bug bite! This session will help
you develop your wildlife observation skills and learn how to apply these to capture the
likeness of an animal in 3 dimensions.

Please note: Some people may be allergic to clay or the minerals and additives within it. Gloves should be worn if you have sensitive skin.
