Upcoming Workshops

Join sculptress Linda Kays-Biviano for a magical 4-week class where you’ll create your very own House Fairy—a whimsical guardian meant to protect your home while you’re away.

In this hands-on class, students will learn to sculpt the head, hands, and feet using polymer clay, and build a poseable wire-wrapped armature body. Costuming will be created through simple draping techniques with minimal hand sewing. You’ll also learn how to craft beautiful, ethereal wings using fantasy film.

By the end of the course, each student will complete a one-of-a-kind fairy to take home and treasure for years to come.

Class Details:
• Two sessions are available! Tuesdays June 10-July 1 or Wednesdays June 2- July 2, 2025, 6:30–8:30 PM
• Where: Chenango County Council of the Arts
• Instructor: Linda Kays-Biviano

Come create something magical! PS: materials are included, however, bring your own scissors and, if you have one, a hot glue gun (The Arts Council has both!)
