The Ceramic Figure Dissected:

Instead of tackling the figure holistically, this workshop aims to dissect the figure into easily approached components: the head, hands, feet, and torso. This method of study allows the student to attain a more intimate understating of each aspect of the body. The ability to rotate, inspect, and work on each body part, free from a standing figure, can lead to the greater understanding of each aspect of the figure. Through demonstrations and discussions, the student will gain an anatomical understanding of each body part. By the end of the two-week session, students will leave with knowledge of all the correct proportions and elements of the human figure, ready to be assembled for a grand sculpture of their own or to keep as a reference for future ceramic sculptures. This class is open to all skill levels
