Shape. Build. Create.

Join Restalgic for an immersive sculpting experience designed for artists, creatives, beginners, and clay enthusiasts alike. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of hand-building and sculptural design while exploring the relationship between form, balance, texture, and movement.

Using 8 pounds of clay, participants will create a one-of-a-kind sculptural piece while learning professional techniques used to build larger forms without collapse or slumping. We'll explore how artists visualize a piece before it comes to life and how thoughtful design decisions create stronger, more expressive artwork.

Whether you're new to clay or looking to expand your creative practice, this workshop provides a supportive environment where creativity and craftsmanship come together.
