Sculpting the Face: Exploration and Observation

by

Join us for a fun and in-depth exploration of portrait sculpting in clay!

Students will learn about proportion, shape, line, and texture, while also relying heavily on observation to create a 1:1 scale self-portrait. This workshop is great for students wanting to expand their clay skills or 2D artists who want to explore 3D anatomical understanding of the face. Emphasis will be placed on sculpting a likeness, as well as incorporating illusionistic elements to make our sculptures seem more alive. At the conclusion of this workshop, students will learn how to prep their sculptures for firing, and have the option to glaze them. Additionally, we will discuss various alternative finishing techniques. All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center lobby 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled. *Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece.
