Family & Friends 4 x bronze hare kit using air-drying clay – including on-line video with Jo Garden Art

Description

Everything you need to create four fabulous bronze finished hare sculptures at home! Treat your family or friends to a laughter filled day each creating a unique masterpiece to keep. (NB: There is a separate listing of a mixed Friends and Family kit containing 2 x Sleeping Cats and 2 x Hares – scroll down to ‘see all listings’!).

Coming from the Jo Garden Art studio where we usually have in person workshops (see the ‘hare sculpture workshops’ and ‘two day sculpture workshops’ here on the Craft Courses website), this kit has been lovingly put together by Jo.

The kit comes with written instructions (with photos) as well as a link to a YouTube video showing Jo explaining the complete process. No previous clay sculpture experience is expected, as Jo will show you each step in detail. The basic form of the hare (the ‘armature’), included in the kit, is individually handmade by Jo in her Suffolk studio. The head, ears, and tail can be moved into whatever pose you would like before you apply the clay. Names can be scribed on the base of your hare to make them even more personal.

Your group will usually take about 90 minutes to sculpt the hares using the quality air-drying clay over the unique armature. Pop them in the oven for another 90 minutes (perhaps whilst you have lunch!). You then use the provided paint and gilt cream to evolve your hares into a beautiful bronze finish.

Fabulous fun and enjoyed by any age group (please note young children must be supervised). Jo guarantees no two hares will be the same!

Please note – this kit should be made within 4 months of purchase. These wonderful hares are for enjoying inside as the air-drying clay prefers not to endure soggy weather 😉
