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. PLEASE NOTE: This is a technique workshop. No glazing or firing will be done at ESSA. Finished pieces may be taken elsewhere to glaze and fire.
