Human Figure Workshop
Course Dates
New dates coming soon!
SUITABLE FOR - Some experience useful but all abilities welcome.
Figurative human sculpture has an ancient tradition and still fascinates us today.
Modelling the human form from clay represents a challenge for any artist but the secret to success is an understanding of proportion and basic human anatomy.
I will demonstrate how to achieve this using photographic reference and Nigel, our resident life size skeleton.
I will guide you through the whole process, explaining the articulation of the skeleton and where the major muscle groups sit so that you can create your own life like sculpture.
Finally you will hollow out your figure ready for firing in the kiln.
