Figure Sculpture Masterclass

Mittwoch, 10 Juni '20   4 Tage
Sculpture Lounge, Holmbridge Mill, Bank Lane, Holmbridge, Holmfirth, HD9 2NE

Details

In this masterclass you will spend four days working from a live model to study the art of clay figure sculpture. At the end of the course you will have produced a half life-size sculpture from quality handbuilding clay and prepared it for firing into ceramic. When fired your sculpture will be suitable for outdoor display.

We’ll start by making smaller figures, focus intently on the subject and learning to see the underlying structure, working quickly and studying the model at different angles. You’ll discover one of the fascinating aspects of figurative art- a figure is not merely a likeness, there’s some of yourself in there too. Whether it’s how you handle the clay or where you choose to elaborate and edit, it’s quite astonishing.

The process becomes more refined as we start to make armatures for a larger sculpture. Measurement becomes useful and there are more techniques to be applied. As we continue over the weekend I’ll introduce you to the work of many other sculptors and talk you through the different approaches taken in my own work.

The final day includes a session preparing the sculpture for firing into ceramic. Your sculpture will be frost-proof and suitable for placing outside.

This masterclass includes a choice of lunches, refreshments and all tools and materials. The fee is £465 per participant.
