Afternoons sessions: we work from the life model in fast paced sculpting sessions to imbue the torsos with life.

Fall Courses
Sculpt with Clay
In this exciting course, you will have the freedom to sculpt from your own ideas. You can choose to work from photos of a subject, your own model, or imagination. Sculpting portrait busts, faces, figures, animals, abstracts, and écorché anatomical sculptures, are some of the possibilities! Armature building, effective clay modeling techniques, proportion, planes, anatomy, and hollowing are all covered as needed. This class has been designed to support student’s individual ideas with one-on-one instruction and demonstrations. It provides great flexibility for students of all levels, giving an opportunity for beginners to sample sculpting while those who want to create more complex pieces can work on them during multiple terms.
