2011 Summer Workshop
Figurative Expression in Clay: Working from the Model
Through Cabrillo ARTS in Aptos, CA
July 18 - 29, 2011
$375
In this workshop, students will discover the wonder of sculpting the human form in clay. The emphasis will be on exploring the expressive potential of gesture and pose, while acquiring useful sculptural skills such as developing armature and understanding basic anatomy. Students will work from live models and their imaginations. Projects include a life- sized portrait bust, small figure studies, gestures, and body fragments. Special focus will be given to ceramic surfaces. Students will experiment with terra sigillata, slips, oxides, and underglazes, and will participate in raku and saggar firings.
