Spend the full day working in clay with a life model, being inspired by the work of Rodin, Frink, Matisse, and other great sculptors. You’ll be given the time to observe the anatomy and movement. Initially the class will make a few clay sketches in preparation to dedicate the time to model a more considered piece. There is the option of preparing all work for later firing by Messums Creative.
*the course fee includes tuition, life model, and bag of clay per participant
Lunch is not included but why not book a table at The Mess Restaurant in the Tisbury gallery, which is only three miles away.
