About the Workshop:
3/4 Life-size Torso with visiting guest artist Georgina Mills
Tuesday 16 July – Saturday 20 July, Tue – Fri: 10am – 2pm, Sat: 10am – 4pm
Fees: EB: $710, General: $790
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 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.
Students can expect 13 hours model time. Only 8 places available for this special workshop – with places starting to fill!
