Wooden Cat Sculpture
In this hands-on class, you’ll design and build a sculptural character using scrap wood, old railings, and your own creativity. Blending digital planning with tactile making, this class is all about bringing your character to life from sketch to sculpture.
Design your character with story in mind—sketching on paper and iPad to explore personality, silhouette, and style
Create a character sheet and deco sheet (color and texture guide) to use as a blueprint for building
Learn how to plan your build using found and scrap materials—how to cut, assemble, and reinforce parts safely
Experiment with paint, finishes, and visual storytelling to give your character energy and life
Present your final piece in a small showcase, with a name, backstory, and style sheet
This class is all about inventiveness, mixed media, and showing how design thinking and storytelling can live beyond the screen.
How You’ll Create It:
Start on paper – Draw or paint your idea first.
Plan out the build with wood and color
Make it come alive – Find the right pieces and explore ideas to make your 2d art into a 3d creature
By the end of the class, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind sculpted artwork that tells your story in a fun and creative way.
