Course Overview

Whilst it is not required that students complete the Foundation Course before joining the class, it will be beneficial if they have done so, as it provides a strong understanding of proportion and gesture.

Depending on their level, students will work from plaster casts and/or life models. They will build armatures and learn how to handle the clay. They will learn how to judge proportions both with the eye and with callipers, progressing from simple shapes to more complex live forms. New students are admitted each term; those wishing to enrol on the figure/ portrait courses must have completed the introduction to sculpture course first.

The Sculpture Course runs at different times during the week:

Monday, 7-9pm suitable for all including beginners

Tuesday, 9:45am – 13:45pm intermediate/ advanced

Tuesday, 1:30 – 4:30pm all levels. Tuesdays can be taken as half or a whole day

Saturday, 1:30 – 4:30pm
