Materials:
Learn to sculpt the figure from a figure model, with expert instruction from Lois Rhomberg. We will work in plasticine clay over an 18-inch armature.
Students will be instructed in the basics of figure drawing, starting from the block-in stage all the way to finishing touches. We will be working on paper at 11 x 14 inches; go to "Learn More" for materials list.
Learn to sculpt a life-size portrait bust from a model in oil-based clay with instructor Armando Gutiérrez G. The class will emphasize anatomy and proportion, as well as creating a life-like piece with character.
Armando will lead students in creating a silicone and plaster mold of the student's existing sculpture. The class will take place over two weekends:
Spend 10 weeks creating one or more clay figure studies from a live model in a supportive environment. We suggest that new sculptors take either Figure Sculpture or the Plaster Cast Sculpture Study class first.
Learn about the process of slip casting for ceramics, and create a simple slip-cast mold. No previous experience necessary!
Learn hand-building techniques and create some original work for Studio Pintura's Fall Raku Firing event. No previous experience necessary!
Deep-dive into observation, measurements, and sculpture skills by copying an existing Plaster Sculpture in earth or plasticene clay.
