LIVE - Jan 20 at 7 PM (ET) • REPLAY - Jan 21 

Learn a clear, repeatable way to map any object using Front + Side + Top aligned views. See and preserve proportion before you build (no more guessing halfway through).  Demo with pear but works with any object.  Workbook + worksheet included • Email your worksheet photo within 14 days for tailored fixes

Start with 3-View Mapping

Use the worksheet to plan Front, Side, and Top views—so your proportions are clear before you touch the clay.

Slide + Rotate Top View 

Transfer width + depth without measuring—so your top view stays aligned and your form doesn’t drift as you build.

Works for Any Object

Apply the 3-View Plan to everyday objects and complex forms—balanced proportion and believable volume every time.

This is for you if…

Your proportions drift as you build and you don’t know why You’re tired of realizing it’s “off” halfway through You’re returning to clay and want a reliable method that brings confidence back You want a planning step that actually translates into better forms You want a repeatable system—not random tips

Why guessing fails (and why your proportions drift):

You’re trying to build a 3D form from one view, so width and depth stay “invisible” until it’s too late Adjusting mid-build often moves the problem instead of fixing it (the form shifts as you correct) Without a plan, your eyes keep “correcting” to what you think you see—so proportions slowly drift Most tutorials show a finished result, but don’t give you a repeatable way to check height/width/depth as you go The real issue usually isn’t skill—it’s missing a clear map before you commit clay

In this 1-hour live workshop, you’ll learn:

How to map any object using Front + Side + Top aligned views The core rules: eye level, silhouette/negative space, and dimension transfer The slide-and-rotate trick to transfer width + depth without measuring Quick fixes for common proportion problems How to reuse the worksheet as your go-to “form map”
