Great American Artists Edward Hicks: Peaceable Kingdom Polymer Clay Animal Sculptures February 21, 2009

This Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' Family Art Workshop will be held at Blick Art Materials Store.

Discover the popular art of creating with polymer clay. Take a look at The Peaceable Kingdom, painted by Edward Hicks in the 1800s. In this vision of peace, Hicks paints many different animals living together in harmony who might normally be enemies. Learn sculpting techniques with oven-hardening polymer clay to create sculptures of a lion and a lamb, or other peaceable creatures together. Instructor: Charles Hankin (great-great-great grandson of Edward Hicks).
