"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
