All Materials are Included
You will work using modern, air drying clay which is impregnated with nylon fibre, giving a strong stable finish. Explore the use of a simple armature (the internal support for your sculpture) and a range of techniques for building and finishing in clay. Finally you will learn about acrylic finishes that can be used to give a bronze finish.
The full process will give you the skills for realising a three dimensional form using photography for reference. Beyond the initial construction of the basic figure, you can choose whether to make your sculpture a realistic study or if you prefer a more impressionistic piece. This day is all about getting your hands into some clay and having fun, whilst learning some basic techniques and thinkingabout 3D forms.
