Sculpting a Baby in Polymer Clay

Begins on November 15th


In this class students will learn to sculpt a realistic baby in two versions, First version is a fully sculpted anatomically correct baby. This doll will be a fixed figure fully sculpted out of polymer clay. The next version is what I call a "bean bag" style baby. This baby has realistic sculpted head, arms and legs...attached to a soft cloth pellet filled body. This doll allows for realistic poses of the baby, and is very life-like, with it's floppy movements!
 


Students can make their babies, any size they wish with my anatomy charts, which may be reduced or enlarged in size. Many tips and tricks to sculpting with polymer clay will also be discussed. This class is well suited to the beginner or more advanced doll maker!

Class includes a download-able workbook with plenty of pictures and complete instructions to make each style of doll. Anatomical baby charts are also included, as well as many baby picture references. As a bonus, I am also including one of my exclusive costume patterns to use in dressing your baby. Pattern includes, dress, bonnet, and booties...as well as a boys outfit! Can't wait to see you in class!

 About Kori

 

I have always been drawn to figurative and illustrative art.  As a child I liked to draw, mostly people and animals.  In high school, and later in college I studied art.  Back then, my mediums were pretty limited.  I studied water-color, oils, acrylics...always two dimensional. 

 In high school I learned to draw people by imitating the works of Brian Froud and others...I have always loved the world of fantasy!

In 1997, I discovered the book “Fantastic Figures” by Suzanna Oroyan...and my two dimensional world turned into three, as I discovered Polymer Clay!

I have been sculpting original polymer sculptures since that time and love the medium.  Polymer clay allows me to use all of my skills as an artist.

My work features primarily children and children’s subjects…such as fairy tales and folklore.  I have taught many classes on classical sculpting and OOAK dolls.  My sculptures have been featured in Contemporary Doll Collector Magazine and Doll Crafter and Costuming magazine and countless galleries and boutiques worldwide.

I am a member of ODACA (Original Doll Artists Council of America) and I live in North Dakota with my husband and two beautiful children.  You may see more of my work on my Blog, http://turtlechildstudio.blogspot.com or my website www.turtlechild.com.
