Taught by L.A. Sculptor Melanie Newcombe, this series of 5 weekly classes is designed to teach beginners how to sculpt a clay portrait bust. In five 4-hour classes you will complete a portrait bust of the person you choose. Plan on selecting 5 dates within a two-month period.
Included in this package:
five 4-hour studio classes, taught by a professional sculptor
one 25 lb bag of clay
one sculptor's tool kit
one armature setup (board, pipe, flange etc)
one kiln firing upon completion
What you will need:
Choose a subject and take (or find) at least 2 full-page photographs (front and profile) of this person, from the neck up. If you forget or are unable to find a portrait before the first class, we have stock images you can choose from. We'll be happy to print the images for you if you email them to us.
This is a water-based clay class with the option to fire or cast once completed. Instructor’s recommendation is to fire as this is an important process to understand. If casting is your preference, there is a local foundry that we recommend and your instructor will walk you through the steps to work with them. They offer bronze, steel, and resin options.
