Figure Modeling: Firing and Patina – CLASS IS FULL
Instructor: Susan Clinard
Tuesday evenings, 6:30-9:30 (June 22-July 27)
This figure sculpting class will approach figure modeling in a new, exciting and more immediate fashion. Students will work in water-based clay with little to no armature required and their pieces will be fired independently of CAW in a new and unique approach. The class will be encouraged to not only work on the basic anatomical form and proportion but also recognize the movement and expression of each model’s pose. Students will have a finished piece to take home and learn from. Patinas will also be covered in this class. Portrait busts are optional. Beginners and advanced students welcome.
Six sessions: $240; members: $216
