Description
​
This is an intensive workshop that aims at improving student’s observational skills, sculpture techniques and knowledge of human anatomy and form. This course is specifically designed to introduce students to sculptural methods that help simplify the complexities of the human figure. Over the course students will sculpt from life a ¾ life-size torso with water-based clay. Group lessons and daily individual critiques will help to guide them through this process. Students will then prepare their sculpture to kiln fired locally at their convenience.
​
Students are responsible for their own clay and are encouraged to build their own armatures; The studio will advise students prior to the workshop on the preferred clay of choice and supply simple armature schematic for students to construct and bring. Some tools are available for use. Kiln firing not included, cost approximately $100 (South Australian prices).
