Layton, NJ

Please join me for a five-day workshop focusing on the human figure in clay in the beautiful woods of New Jersey. This should be a good one.

Instead of tackling the figure holistically, this workshop aims to focus on two of the most expressive aspects of the figure: the head and hand. By working on parts individually, students will attain a more intimate understating of each aspect of the body. The ability to rotate, inspect, and work on body parts, free from a standing sculpture, can lead to a greater understanding of each of these challenging aspects of the figure. Through demonstrations and discussions, the student will gain anatomical understanding as well as aesthetic considerations. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with knowledge of all the correct proportions and elements of these human extremities, ready to be assembled into their own sculpture or to keep as a reference for future ceramic sculptures.
