As expected, I enjoyed every minute! Jolene has such a great teaching vibe! She is one of those generous people who wants to transmit the love of her art and creative path as much as the technique and useful tips she learned herself along the way. There is even a delightful bonus interview to inspire us even more! Absolutely recommended!

This course was a perfect starting point to learn the basic techniques and skills needed for making fun sculptures. I will need time to practice and discover my own style but I have all the tools needed for that and I will go back to the videos to freshen up certain steps now and then. I was happy and surprised by the creatures I could already create on my first attempt.

The course encouraged to play with clay, to let loose and be free. It had a great, laid back approach towards mistakes and a cheeky, playful atmosphere throughout the course. It made me smile and feel warm, and I believe these feelings are transferred into the pieces I made and will make in the future with this method I learned.

This course opened a door into creative sculpture I didn’t think I could enter. Following along with the course sections and Jolene’s thoughtful and detailed instructions I was able to create whimsical animals that I loved. The techniques Jolene shares alongside the beautiful creatures she crafts during the course are informative and inspiring. The whole process from beginning to end was so enjoyable. I ended up making 8 pieces during the course and look forward to expanding my skills with the foundation this course provided. Jolene’s style of teaching is warm and engaging. I have taken 4 of her courses and absolutely loved each one.

I’m so glad I participated in the Creative Creatures online course. I have very limited sculpture experience and I have never done an online class before. I was pleased that I could complete it in my own time. The content was informative and Jolene’s delivery and explanation along with her beautiful creative energy gave me the confidence to build and decorate beyond my expectations and has inspired me to keep exploring sculpture. So thankful x

FAQ

  • Do I have to be experienced with clay to do this course?

    This course is aimed at those who have an basic skill set with ceramics. If you would like to know the things I have assumed you already understand, I have a PDF outlining "The skills you will need' within the course player. If you would like to up-skill before taking this course, I have 3 Introductory courses to get you there, available now. Head to the main home page to see which ones might suit you best.

  • Do I have to be good at art?

    Absolutely not. One of the things I love most about this technique is that skills traditionally valued in art are not necessarily required. Playing with a dimensional form can lead to many surprises!

  • Do I have to use the recommended products?

    All of the tools and materials are flexible. I share my own preferences, though you can absolutely improvise throughout. A list of recommended tools and materials is available in the course player.

  • Do I need access to a kiln?

    Ideally yes, just to see your completed results. If you do not have immediate access however, that is fine. The work will keep until you are ready to fire.

  • Do you include how to make, glaze and fire the clay pieces?

    This course is focused on building and sculpting your forms. I discuss some decorating options, though please join a beginners group or pottery club if you need help, or complete the hand building course first to learn a wide range of beginner skills.

  • What Tools do I need for the course?

    You can see the full list of items I recommend within the course 'preview'.
