Figurative Sculpting Class

This figurative sculpting class is only available for attendees of the figurative sculpting course who who want to continue coming occasionally or try one class prior to purchasing a 5-class course. Please get in touch with the teacher prior to booking. Times are available on request. This course is designed for people who have a serious interest in learning to sculpt. It provides thorough personalised guidance in small groups completely tailored to your interests and pace.Classes are kept to small groups of up to four people so that everyone can work on their personal projects and have enough one-on-one time with a teacher.The skill of figurative sculpting is very applicable in the modern world. From character development to model-making to film and stage production and even interior design. Once you conquer it, you will be capable of sculpting pretty much any shape you want. Getting there takes a lot of practice, and this Sydney sculpting class is an introduction to that journey, teaching you about developing a sculpture from basic geometric shapes. Your experienced teacher Irina, a professional sculptor herself, will instruct you to the last detail.We will be using clay and learning how to build armatures for each shape based on their anatomy. You will receive everything you need to build your sculptures from scratch, including pictures, anatomy guidelines and references. You will learn what to do with sculptures once you finish them, how to preserve them, cast them into another material, or make them functional. Constant feedback is provided so that you can keep up with the established goals.Your teacher will advise you after your first class on where you can purchase more clay if you realise that you prefer larger-scale sculptures and for your further sculpting.)Please note: This course does not include casting and mould making but offers insight into how we can cast and multiply our sculptures. Another course for mould making is available to purchase.
