Introduction to sculpting with clay

“This class will give students an appreciation of the breadth of things they can create with clay sculpture through listening, seeing, and then trying.  It’s the course I wish I’d done before plunging into sculpture,” says Neil. “Each class builds on the previous one, and at the end of it students should have a broad appreciation of the world of clay sculpting and hopefully be eager to pursue an area that interests them further.”

The class schedule is as follows:

Week 1 –  Working with different clays and creating basic shapes

Week 2 – Introduction to modelling the face

Week 3 – Creating a 3D portrait (live model)

Week 4 – Introduction to figure sculpting

Week 5 – Figure sculpting with a model

Week 6 – Hand building with a slab roller
