Beginning Sculpture

This small scale sculpture class is for the artist of any skill level - an introductory, no pressure fun time with papier-mâché and found objects. From whimsical creatures, abstract forms, architectural structure, giving physical form to the emotional or intangible - you bring it and I will help you interpret it into shape.

Along with problem solving and elements of sculpture, in this course you will learn how to use these plaster like materials (or that odd piece of metal you’ve been saving for a rainy day) to build a structurally sound (free standing or hanging) piece.
