Part 1 – Making

Elizabeth Frink’s Goggle heads and noble faces are the inspiration for clay sculpture that explores and plays with the mysteries of looking and seeing.   This is a workshop where you will have the guidance to create a portrait in clay and the encouragement to develop a unique and reflective vision of the human face. The polished bronze of the Goggles of Frink’s Goggle heads give us permission to go anywhere with our imaginings. In this workshop you can imprint your dreams, ideas and inspirations into the medium of clay.
