Create your own miniature nature scene through simple clay sculpting, hand painting and preserved material arrangement. Participants will shape one or two simple clay creations before painting them and building a small landscape using preserved moss, botanicals, sand and natural textures.
Learn the fundamentals of simple clay modelling, colour application and miniature composition while creating a personal, display-ready diorama to take home.
