Figure Modeling: Firing and Patina    SC02FA10
This figure sculpting class will approach figure modeling in a new, exciting and more immediate fashion. Students will work in water-based clay with little to no armature required and their pieces will be fired independently of CAW in a new and unique approach. Students will be encouraged to work on the basic anatomical form/proportion as well as recognize the movement and expression of each pose. Students will have a finished piece to learn from and take home. Patinas will also be covered in this class. Portrait busts are optional. There will be an additional firing fee of $2.50 per pound; pieces with dimensions between 12” to 15” will be $3 per pound. Beginners and advanced students welcome.
