The Fungus Workshop — take this opportunity to create one hand‑built giant mushroom sculpture, 30–42 cm (12–14 in) tall — perfect as a striking garden ornament. Working at scale with approximately 25 lb (12 kg) of clay, you’ll focus on bulk‑building, safe hollowing, and rich surface texturing.

Joel will share signature tricks and tools developed for his mushroom series. The emphasis is on surface texture and mark‑making to create realistic or stylized fungi, with guided, hands‑on practice, step‑by‑step demonstrations, and individual feedback to refine form and surface. Suitable for beginners and experienced artists, this intensive also covers studio workflows for drying, finishing, and preparing pieces for firing. Note: glazing is not included in this class.
