sculpting: penguins

with Kristell and Özlem

Join us for a fun and creative ceramic workshop where we will sculpt our own charming penguins from clay. Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience with ceramics, this class offers a playful way to explore sculpting while creating a unique piece.

During the workshop, participants will learn how to shape, assemble, and add character to their penguin sculptures. We will focus on form, proportions, texture, and expressive details, allowing each penguin to develop its own personality.

After the workshop, the pieces will be dried, kiln-fired, and transparent glazed by our studio team. Participants will get their penguins in 3 weeks.

What to expect:
• Guided step-by-step ceramic sculpting
• Learn basic hand-building techniques
• Create your own unique penguin character
• All materials, tools, and firing included
• Suitable for beginners and experienced makers

Come and enjoy a relaxed, hands-on creative experience and bring a little penguin friend to life in clay!

About Kristell Redenz

I’m an industrial designer by training, an artist at heart. Since I was a child, I’ve been inspired by nature to create mixed-media illustrations and stoneware ceramics. I quit my job to pursue my passion: making art with soul, by hand, with clay and pigments that tell stories. Every piece I create is born from a love of the organic, the imperfect, and the real.
