I have been a figurative modeller for many years and had a classical training in the figure with drawing, sculpting and anatomy. Please see below for classes, workshops and casual life drawing group events.
This 3-day workshop is a perfect introduction to sculpting with clay. You will produce a half-sized torso from life.
You'll learn everything you need to know to create a small sculpture, starting from how to build an armature to how to prepare your sculpture for firing.* Along the way you'll learn about anatomy, tools and materials, and all the steps needed to create a life-like torso in clay.
In addition you will learn
- how to approach a half-life size figure by scaling the sculpture up and down and sectioning the torso.
- sculpting with structure including 5 short anatomy focus talks which look at anatomy of the torso.
- how to dig out your sculpture ready for firing
