Working primarily from a live model, you will explore techniques on building the structure of the skull, profile, and basic feature placement through the use of small coils and slabs of clay. Learn the finishing approaches for skin texture, clothing and hair, as well as how to build and sculpt the eye’s iris. Experience in working with clay or drawing portraits will be helpful, but is not necessary. This is a technique workshop and firing of the work is not available. ESSA will provide packing material for you to take your greenware piece home with you or for firing elsewhere.
