The Portrait and the Figure in Clay

The Portrait and the Figure in Clay

Using both traditional and creative processes of sculpting in terracotta, we will look closely at the planes of the body, approaches to modelling including detailing of facial characteristics, the use of tools and preparation for firing. Beginners, intermediate and advanced students welcome.
