ANIMAL SCULPTURE CLASS

Fridays 2-5pm

5 classes

Animal sculpture class working in clay at Bath Artists’ Studios

£150 includes all materials and firing or your sculpture

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Come along for a creative afternoon of animal sculpture in the School Room at Bath Artists’ Studios. We will have dogs in the studio to inspire you and can also bring in photos of your chosen animal to create a sculpture or relief.

This will be a friendly class for all levels where you can learn at your own pace. You will learn some new techniques and also tap into your own intuitive ability to sculpt what you see and imagine in clay. At the end you will hollow out your piece in preparation for firing. Your sculpture will then be fired in the Sculpture School's kiln.

Making a figurative sculpture offers a practical challenge, artistic expression and an immersive and therapeutic experience. It is the ultimate antidote to moderm life and is not as difficult as everyone thinks. You will produce a sculpture unique to you and in your own style.

We have a large and well equipped school room with sculpture stands and a place for your sculpture to be stored between sessions. Armatures, clay and tools will all be provided. You just need to come along.

In the middle of the evening there will be a friendly tea break in the common room.

This class will carry on throughout the year with two blocks of five classes each term. Bath Sculpture School has a growing community of figurative sculptors who attend classes, exchange ideas and put on exhibitions from time to time. Those attending classes will also be able to join in regular sculpture club sessions and the new Stone Carving Club if this is of interest.

Please email me if you have any queries or wish to discuss the course.
