PORTRAIT SCULPTURE

Tutor: JANE HAMILTON

Course description:
This is an exciting opportunity to capture the model in clay. Discover the fundamental techniques of portrait sculpture, which, when completed, may be hollowed in preparation for firing. (Firing can be done at the studio for a small fee, having allowed a period of time for drying.) Alternatively you may prefer a mould to be made of your work at a later date.

The course will cover:
•the fundamentals of anatomy for sculpting the head
•the building of a basic armature
•the process of sculpting in clay
•the necessary tools and equipment
•finishing techniques
•hollowing out for firing
Contact details are available if you would like to have a mould made in order to have your completed portrait cast in plaster, resin or bronze.

Materials/Items to bring:
•A modelling stand 13" x 13" x 1" with a 8" central post, 3/4 "in diameter, this will be available for purchase from the studio for £10 if required. (Please inform the studio prior to the course if one is needed, however, we do ask you to endeavour to have a board for your sculpture for easy transport home if you decide not to have your sculpture fired.)
•Modelling tools (some will be available for use at the studio).
•Please wear comfortable practical clothing and substantial footwear and bring a pair of sunglasses, as the modelling room may become very bright according to the weather.

Please note that firing is undertaken with the usual element of risk involved when working with this material. The Studio therefore cannot accept responsibility for any damage of your work, but every care will be taken.
