Introduction and general information for your course:
- Please read: Introduction and general guidelines in the 7 page document on ISSUU:
https://issuu.com/littlewings/docs/_introduction_to_puppet_making_with_corina_duyn
- For a glimpse into my [previous] Little Wings Studio: https://youtu.be/s7Oa8-0lKgk (1.47)
- Important Sanding instructions: https://youtu.be/yke3zQgZ3d8 (2.04)
In my course I recommend the use of white DAS air drying clay as other brands have different drying properties and may shrink too much which causes problems. DAS is very strong and can be used to sculpt very fine details.
