SUMMARY:Alabaster Carving with Carol Crawford
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6552″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Early Bird: $490.30\, Full Fee: $545.30 \nThis workshop is now sold out.

SUMMARY:Term 1 - 2023: Double Figure Life Study with Jenny Pollak
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8126″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The relationship between two figures can give us a unique insight into the abstract possibilities of space and form. This workshop will encourage the student to look for new and interesting solutions to the challenges of depicting the complexity of two bodies in relationship to each other\, bringing a fresh eye to the exploration of rhythm\, negative space\, mass and balance. \nJenny will guide both the beginner and the more experienced artist through the process involved in working with clay from the life model. Students will be encouraged to push their work beyond a merely faithful representation of the body and develop a more personal language and means of expression. \nDuring this 8 week course students will have time to bring their work to a point where it is ready to be fired\, exploiting the facility and beauty of clay as a material that can be transformed from the raw and impermanent to a final and enduring sculptural piece. \nPictured: inspiration from Gustav Seitz\, Two Figures III.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Modelling from Life: a three-day intensive workshop with Monika Scarrabelotti
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”7105″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Wednesday 6 July – Friday 8 July (3 days)\n10.00 am – 4.30 pm\nFees: $355.30 (Earlybird); $395.30 (General) \nA quick\, intensive\, three-day workshop modelling from life in clay. Suitable for all levels\, this course will give beginners the chance to work on their knowledge of proportion\, anatomy and form.  While more advanced students will have the chance to explore compositions and gesture\, developing their own sculptural language in clay. \nThe first day of the workshop will include life drawing\, and completing a series of quick “sketches” in clay using a life model. In the following two days we will settle on a single pose to develop a more resolved sculpture.  This class will offer the option to work without using an armature\, giving participants the option to either fire or cast their finished sculptures in their own time\, if they so choose.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Sunday Life Study - Term 4
DESCRIPTION:Term 4 2020 Life Study Class with Jenny Pollak \n9 Sundays: 11th October – 6th December\n10:30am – 3:30pm \nBookings now open! \nIn a year that has required us to dig deeper into our inner resources\, this life study course offers the opportunity to find an expression for how we might physically represent emotion in the figure study. \nWhile bringing a fresh eye to the exploration of rhythm\, negative space\, weights and balances\, the student will be encouraged to consider how they might go beyond a merely representational description of the life model and draw out a deeper emotional interpretation. \nThis workshop will guide both the beginner and the more experienced artist through the process involved in working with clay from the life model. Jenny will encourage students to push their work beyond a merely faithful representation of the body and develop a more personal language or means of expression. \nDuring this 9 week course students will have time to bring their work to a point where it is hollowed out and ready to be dried for firing\, exploiting the facility and beauty of clay as a material that can be transformed from the raw and impermanent to a final and enduring sculptural piece. \nFees:\nEarlybird: $785.30\nGeneral: $875.30 \n(pictured above: Michaelangelo\, Atlas Slave)

SUMMARY:Life Study Term 1\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:The 10 week (11 day course) offers alternative technical solutions each term to solve the challenges of translating your work from an ephemeral study into a permanent sculpture. \nGain technical knowledge with an alternative mould making and casting method each term; ideally students will undertake both terms\, as the course material is set to build from one term to the next. However\, we can accommodate students who wish to only book for one term. \nThis course will not be conventionally run as it has over the years at the TBSSS. The technical applications\, e.g. Mould making and casting are traditional\, the understanding of this method in encouraged\, however\, the approach to this technical question changes each term\, keeping alternative methods of bringing ephemeral work i.e. in clay\, into a permanence\, alive with contemporary solutions.
