Winter Clay Animal Masks at Children's Art Classes Raleigh

Kids make a clay mask of a winter animal, such as a polar bear, arctic fox, snowy owl, penguin, wolf or snow leopard. Each child picks an animal from photos and draws its face. They cut the shape from a slab of clay and build up the eyes, muzzle, nose and ears. They use the “hair machine” to add fur and puff the mask out so it stands up in 3D. The mask has holes so it can hang on a wall. Kids finish by glazing it in cool winter colors.

Clay needs time to dry and be fired in our kiln, so your child’s mask will not go home that day. It will be ready for pickup about two weeks after the workshop, and we will let you know when it is ready.

Your child leaves with a one-of-a-kind mask, new clay skills, and a relaxed afternoon in a small group. No experience needed.
