Choose to spend a fun day at Viables Craft Centre creating a unique garden sculpture using a fantastic new non-firing clay, Pal Tiya Premium. Weta Workshop in New Zealand uses this product extensively to create large sculptures for private commissions and more.

Come to this class to learn new and interesting techniques and make a gorgeous Fairy Mushroom House with this exciting new product, which is in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and now here!

This medium is simple and fun to use and you can take your piece home that same day as no kilns are necessary! It will last outdoors in all weather as it has passed freeze/thaw testing and is incredibly strong!

Class includes tutoring and all materials required, but please bring an apron or wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dusty.

Tea and coffee will be provided, but please bring your own packed lunch.

Sandie Denton, Tennessee, USA

"I absolutely loved working with it. I am not a sculptor and other than playing with some clay in a high school art class this is the first time I've done anything like this.
I love how easy it was to go back in the second or third day and add to it.
I think Pal Tiya Premium is an absolutely brilliant product. I am looking forward to making many more garden sculptures!"
