Each finished piece will measure just over 10 inches long and feature mechanical charm worthy of any airship or inventor’s workshop.

During the workshop, participants will learn several finishing techniques including faux patina and rust effects on the mid-section, stringing the fins, and applying a protective glaze sealant to complete the piece. By focusing on a smaller section for the finishing techniques, everyone will have time to complete their fish and allow it to properly dry before the end of the session. Sandy has also created the perfect companion for FINN—a Mini Celeste as a steampunk fullset. She will be available for purchase as an add-on to workshop attendees first. Should a few extra FINNs and/or Mini Celestes spring to life from our gears and gizmos, they’ll happily swim their way to Sandy’s table in the salesroom! All materials and supplies are included.
