Guided by your brilliant tutor you will use technique’s of carving clay, modelling clay or constructing with clay, or combinations of these techniques, to develop confidence in expressing this human form.
Over three days you will observe the visible anatomy of the model and react to the presence of the person kindly posing for you, while working with the clay to bring what you see into a sculptural work.
A large scale anatomical figure will also be in the studio for reference if wished.
