Polymer Clay Modelling

Armed with a prior knowledge in paper mâché, wire sculpting, and basic ceramics skills, these brave young sculptors are ready to take on the challenge to create imaginary creatures with polymer clay.

Wire sculpture: building the basic frame (armature) of the creature.
Paper Mâché: filling up cavities with masking tape and alluminium foil
Ceramics: knowledge of pinching, kneading, helps "fleshing" out the creatures easier

Journey with them on their first quest in polymer clay modelling,
more updates coming your way soon!

in our school's aesthetics curriculum to expose
our upper primary pupils to various forms of art.
