Students may follow their own interests. Experience modeling techniques in clay in this beginning sculpture course. We will wedge, carve and build up the clay. The class will emphasize creativity and fun, with finished works being fired in oven or kiln to take home and enjoy. This course is for the curious beginner and those with some experience in head sculpture.
Students begin by studying basic head anatomy and feature structure.
To refine and complete our projects the class is on going. Lacing, tooling and staining will be explored to give your project its own original look. There will be several projects to choose from and complete. You may take this class more than once. Spend three Saturdays with Japanese artist Tomi Ito-Levin learning the ancient art of Japanese sumi painting and calligraphy.
