Life sculpting HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

Discover your artistic potential in this sculpting class in Manchester. Join our Nude Model Sculpting Sessions and learn the art of sculpting a figure out of clay under the expert guidance of Nina, expert figurative ceramicist. This innovative workshop takes life drawing to a whole new level, providing a unique opportunity to explore your creativity in three dimensions.

The perfect date night for you and some friends, your partner or even on your own! Many people come to these events alone, the creative and fun atmosphere facilitates a lovely atmosphere to meet new likeminded people and creatives.

Don't worry if you're a beginner, Nina will provide step-by-step instructions to help you create a stunning sculpture that you'll be proud to take home. The sessions celebrate diversity and body positivity, as each class features a different nude model, showcasing a range of body types, sexes, races, and ages.

Discover the therapeutic benefits of working with clay as you tune in to your creativity, gaining a deeper appreciation for the human form and it’s diverse beauty, and leave with a unique sculpture that reflects your artistic vision and celebrates the human form.

To keep these sessions accessible to more people we offer different tiered prices. We use a high quality clay that can either:

• be taken directly home on the day with you (general admission, bags and boxes provided),
• be bisque fired (making it a solid piece, finish is pastel pink & texture similar to stone),
• be glazed (this will make it water proof, you can choose a colour from our selection on the day).

If you choose the bisque or glazed option, collection of your sculptures will be within the next month at Hope Mill Theatre in Ancoats (M4 7JA) or alternatively delivery can be discussed on the day for an additional cost.

This venue:

• Is access friendly
• has a bar on site, alcholic and soft drinks are available to buy on the evening.

How the event runs:

6:20pm: people start to arrive and settle in, during this time you can buy a drink and settle in etc.

6:30pm: Nina will intorduce the session and the model to everyone and begin explaining step by step the figure sculpting process. If you are experienced feel free to move at your own pace.

6:55pm: The model will take a break every 25 miniutes and when they return, they will rotate the same pose by 90 degrees so that everyone in the room can see the model from every angle.

8:30pm: The session is coming to an end, Nina encourages everyone to now stand up and look at each others work. A wonderful moment for people to discuss the work and the diverse outcome of everyone’s individual pieces of art.

Note: Please be thoughtful that this is a respectful, creative, and educational environment and to treat others, especially the nude model, as such! Antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated.

No photography of the nude model
