Sculpture Courses

Sculpture for Beginners

This simple beginners class is suitable for those who have never worked in 3 D before. Get a feel for working in three dimensions using a wire armature (base) and this simple plaster technique. Once finished with a lovely bronze or iron patina you won't believe these sculptures are made of simple plaster. When sealed properly plaster can be left outside, so come and make something unique and interesting to complement your garden.

The tutor will assist you in all aspects of sculpture, from choosing subject matter to technical advice on how to build the shape and form you desire. Examples will be given to inspire and enthuse each participant.

Don't be constrained by the flat page, plumb the inner depths of your creativity and create a living and breathing sculpture. The world is better in 3-D!!

Sculpting the Head for Beginners

In this new class you will learn the basic skills necessary to make a bust of the head and shoulders. No prior knowledge is assumed and this class is suitable for the complete beginner. Topics covered include proportion, anatomy and decorative finishes and patinas. Clay will be the medium used over a newspaper based (which burns out in the kiln) Clay is easy to alter and adjust when first learning to create in 3D.

Busts will be fired after completion of the course and then be available for pick up, or you can take them home unfired. Course fee includes enough materials for one life size bust. Why not create your own self portrait or simply grasp the techniques of working with clay to create a human image. Don't forget the world is better in 3-D!
