Snug Harbor

I went to the Art Lab at Snug Harbor on September 13th and attended the sculpting lab. There was a list given to me upon signing in for the event that told me what they offered, such as painting, photography, and of course, sculpting, and I picked what the lab I did randomly.

The lab itself was enjoyable: the man running it was kind and welcomed anyone who wanted to participate, and he gave you the suggestion of what to sculpt, a pumpkin, but let you do whatever you wanted. I chose to do the pumpkin, and began to roll, dig, and sculpt the clay into its final shape.

The clay had to be wet to shape, and after wetting it and rolling it into a ball, I had to hollow it out and then I carved a jack-o-lantern face into it and made it a top.

I think I managed to pick the messiest lab because my hands were caked in clay for the whole time I was sculpting, and even after washing my hands there was still clay left on me.

I enjoyed the process of making the pumpkin, but if I ever do something like this again, I will choose a less messy lab.
