Making Sculptural Birds

By Paula Briggs

These striking birds are easy to make and combine your drawing and making skills. Make one as a pet, or make a whole flock as a piece of sculpture! You could even make them a house to live in or a tree to perch in! This is a great project for children as the actual technique is quite simple yet there’s lots of room for experimentation and individuality.
