Figure Making Workshop Unleashes Creativity

What drives you to create something with your own hands, to shape and mould a piece of clay into a figure that holds meaning and significance? For many, it's the desire to capture a memory or emotion, to preserve a moment in time that can be treasured for years to come. This is exactly what Steve Postgate's figure making workshop at The Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable offers - a chance to unleash your creativity and bring your ideas to life.

With Steve's gentle demonstration and advice, you'll be guided through the process of creating a clay figure or figures of your choice. Whether you're inspired by a picture of your family dog, a dancing couple, or a personal achievement, the possibilities are endless. The workshop encourages imagination-led designs, but also provides 3D and illustrative examples to refer to anatomy, ensuring that your creation is both personal and well-crafted. You'll have the opportunity to explore options for internal and external support, building techniques, and the use of tools, all while enjoying refreshments and a supportive environment.

The workshop's focus on creativity and self-expression makes it an ideal outlet for those looking to tap into their artistic side. With the freedom to create multiple figures, merge figures, or craft transformative pieces, you'll be able to push the boundaries of your imagination and bring your unique vision to life. The fact that use of tools, clay, and firing for up to three small pieces or one large piece per person is included, adds an extra layer of excitement and possibility to the workshop.
