Sculptor Suzie Zamit, Vice President of the Society of Portrait Sculptors is back at The Mudworks for a two-day portrait modelling course using a live model.
Across the weekend, you will build a head from scratch on a simple armature, working at around one-third life size. Suzie will cover anatomy and measuring with callipers, then move into tools and surface finishing as the piece develops. She will also demonstrate how to hollow the sculpture ready for firing once the clay reaches leather-hard stage.
Bring any basic modelling tools you have, plus a small box if you would like to take your finished piece home.
The course runs 10 am to 4 pm over both days and costs £230. Lunch and refreshments are included.
