Clay Sculpting with Fab R
Page Tools
Join us for a Day of the Dead-themed polymer clay workshop led by Fabiola Rivera! This workshop is designed for ages 16+. Participants will learn the fundamentals of working with clay while experimenting with shape, texture, color, and small-scale sculpture techniques in a relaxed and accessible environment. No prior experience is necessary.
The workshop also includes baking time after the session. We recommend baking on-site after the workshop so participants can leave their pieces completed and assembled the same day.
$10 registration fee covers all necessary materials. Space is limited. To register, please email angela@nationalmuseumofmexicanart.org.
