Javier Murcia - Simplified Figure Studies 2023

Like the head studies, the students come to this workshop to learn how to solve issues when making a human body in clay. Something you see a lot among the students is the stiffness of the figures they produce. One of the critical things you will learn in this workshop is to break down the body into different parts. This will help to learn proportions, connect parts and get a more flexible work.

Sculpting the human figure in clay through a simplified geometrical approach of the volumes, proportions and anatomical posture/movement. Breaking the body and understanding their interconnection helps gaining weight, balance, movement and strong gestures possible.

We will work with water based clay over an armature to help you build the figure. No model is required. This workshop is a two day workshop.

Course Cost includes Clay & Tools

Please note that this is a two day work shop: Saturday 5th + Sunday 6th August 9am - 5pm
