The class will explore how to work with the clay medium and how to prepare it for firing. It will also explore some basic concepts of 3D design as applied to sculpture, the use of various tools, and ways of creating texture and finishes.
A 25 lb bag of clay is included with the class.
All levels welcome.

Sculpting the Bas-Relief
The bas-relief is one of the most difficult forms of sculpture because it combines issues of 2D art with 3D art. This intermediate class is for students who have had experience with figure drawing, figure sculpture, or both. You will learn how to make a slab using the slab machine, and then using a picture, you will transfer the picture to the clay slab. You will learn how to look at different picture planes and how to vary their depth to create a 3D image on the clay. You will also learn how to manage and prepare the clay for firing.
The class includes a 25 lb bag of water-based clay, as well as the firing.
Intermediate.

Sculpting the Draped Figure
Sculpt from a live model with a concentration on draping by analyzing the effect of body position and movement on clothing. We will study different types of clothing and how they fold, and make quick studies of different types of folds. Students will be working fast and producing various pieces. A previous basic sculpture course is suggested.
The class includes a 25 lb bag of water-based clay, as well as the firing of the student’s pieces.

Sculpting the Horse
You will start by learning how to make a horse armature, then learn how to sculpt in oil-based clay. We will focus on the anatomy of the horse and how to pose the armature to obtain different types of poses of the horse, as well as capturing movement. We will also discuss basic sculpture design issues, as well as how to go about following the process after the class to be able to cast the piece in bronze.
The class will include 2 blocks of Le Beau Touche clay.

Whimsical Sculpture
Tap into your creativity and sense of whimsy as we use sculpture as a form of imaginative expression. We will start with geometric shapes and see how they morph into recognizable sculptures. We will be building a sofa or chair, which will be accompanied by a sculpted form of
your creation. Learn how to make distinguishable surfaces with the aid of brushes, sponges, stamps, and heavy cloth. Students will then learn how to fire and hand-paint their piece to create an exceptional finished product.
All levels welcome.
