Sculpture Making by Hazel Wong

From the dawn of fired clay, potters haven't just shaped bowls and cups, they've breathed life into the animal kingdom! Across grand civilizations, these creatures weren't mere decorations – they were symbols whispered in clay. Imagine majestic lions embodying power, cunning foxes hinting at wisdom, or the gentle curve of a pregnant mare, a promise of fertility etched in time.

But the magic doesn't stop there! Today, artists like Hazel Wong use the very posture of an animal to capture a fleeting emotion. A playful pup's tail wags with joy, a wise owl's gaze holds untold stories. Witness the transformation firsthand! Join Hazel Wong's limited-seat workshop and discover the wonder of sculpting emotions in clay.
