From clay to kiln: Arborg artist and Creative Cocoon bring sculpting to the community
Arborg’s Creative Cocoon teamed up with local artist Jerry Maryniuk to offer a hand-sculpted pottery class that featured owls. Maryniuk said he’s taught art classes in the past, including caricatures, but this was the first clay sculpture class he’s taught. He had his participants make a variety of owls, including snowy, great horned and grey.
