Work with a Life Model + Upcoming Special Workshops

There are two upcoming opportunities to work from the Life Model this autumn and winter.

Please note that Georgina Mills special offering, has new dates and will now be running in July.

Working from Life: Portrait Study with Wendy Black
Tuesdays: 27 May – 24 June (5 weeks)
10am – 4pm
EB fee:$580 / General fee: $640

This course will be an intensive head study based on close observation of the forms, proportion and relevant anatomy. Students will be asked to observe closely and work quickly so that they are relying on their observational skills not on what they think they know of a head. It is surprising what can be achieved working in this way. Students will develop a greater understanding, as well as skills in drawing in 3D, modelling in clay, as well as mould making and casting in plaster.

¾ Life-size Torso Sculpture Workshop with Georgina Mills
Monday 7 July – Friday 11 July
Mon – Thu:10am – 2pm, Fri: 10am – 3pm
Fees: $790.30

This is an intensive workshop that aims at improving student’s observational skills, sculpture techniques and knowledge of human anatomy and form. This course is specifically designed to introduce students to sculptural methods that help simplify the complexities of the human figure.

Over the course students will sculpt from life a ¾ life-size torso with water-based clay. Group lessons and daily individual critiques will help to guide them through this process. Students will then prepare their sculpture to be kiln fired locally at their convenience. Students are to be aware that the kiln firing process can be unpredictable in results and the main goal of the workshop is learning how to improve their sculpting from life skills.

Only 8 places available for this special workshop.
