Still Dancing: Clay Sculpture
4 and 5 Jul 2026 | 2-day | Full day
Tutor - Sophie Howard
Saturday 4 July, 10.30am-4.30pm and Sunday 5 July, 10.30am-3.30pm
A two-day workshop with Sophie Howard working in clay from observation. Participants will make a terracotta sculpture, working from a life model. The life model will have a dance background and the aim is to create a sculpture of a dancer in a resting pose. There will be guidance, and the workshop is suitable for beginners and the more experienced. There will be the option to have the sculpture fired later by arrangement with the tutor. All tools and materials provided but bring your own tools to work with if you prefer.
Please bring an apron or wear clothes suitable for an art studio. You may wish to bring in a box or similar on the second day to take work home.
