Clay Gargoyles – Holiday Art Class for Kids

7–15 yrs.

Working with an artist, children will learn about and draw inspiration from architectural gargoyles. They will start by designing and drawing a gargoyle of their own, based on inspiration from gargoyles and their imagination—thinking about what kind of real or fantastical creature they will make.

When ready, and after a quick demonstration and guided instruction surrounding how to work with clay, children will create their gargoyle masterpiece. All materials and equipment are provided and included in the cost. These sessions are education-based, but a lot of fun, designed for students who enjoy art and want to develop their skills.
