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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I enjoyed the process of making the pumpkin, but if I ever do something like this again, I will choose a less messy lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
