This workshop offers you basic instruction in sculpting a figure with water-based clay working from a live model. Brief demonstrations on various form-building techniques, including the use of temporary supports and armatures will emphasize proportion, rudimentary anatomy, and composition, utilizing representational and abstract forms. You’ll create several small clay sculpture sketches, also referred to as “bozetti,” during the first class. The remainder of the workshop concentrates on sculpting from one pose.
Directions to the artist’s studio are supplied upon registration.
