Sustainable Sculpting Workshop: French Altoids

Join us for a fun, hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to sculpt a detailed French Bulldog head out of polymer clay and attach it to the front of an Altoid tin- turning a small, everyday object into a unique piece of art! In this guided session, our instructor will walk you through each step, from forming the basic shape of the dog’s face to adding those distinctive features—big ears, expressive eyes, and that signature wrinkled nose.

You'll also learn sustainable sculpting techniques, using eco-friendly practices and making the most of household items as sculpting tools. Whether it's a spoon handle for detailing or a toothpick for texture, you'll discover how easy it is to create beautiful art with what you already have at home.

This workshop is open for all skill levels!

This workshop is appropriate for ages 11+ only. Minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult.
