Art Club Intensive Sculpture – The Enchanted Menagerie

Explore the art of sculpture through the creation of Chimeras — imaginative hybrid creatures composed of different animal parts. Using materials such as wire, cardboard, and more, you’ll experiment with 3D thinking, composition and construction techniques to design and bring your own mythical beings to life.
