What to expect
Soft clay, touch of hands, three-dimensional form emerging. In Galata, experience sculpting art spanning millennia. Human figure, abstract form, animal shape becomes reality through clay.
Work on weekly designated model with step-by-step guidance. Learn shaping, modeling, surface treatment. Develop three-dimensional thinking, creating by relating to space unlike flat surface.
Process feels meditative. Daily stress disappears focusing solely on forming shapes in clay's softness. No experience required, suitable all levels.
