This two-day class explores ways of stylising and abstracting the human form through manipulating a block of terracotta clay. You will have the opportunity to sculpt the figure from a life model on the first day, and on the second day be steered by imagination and memory to carve into and abstract your modelled figure. There will be an option to have sculptures fired at a later point for a small fee but you will have to arrange your own transportation of your sculpture. Suitable for all abilities.

Basic materials provided, although we recommend bringing your own tools if you have them, and wearing clothes and footwear suitable for a studio environment.
