Adult art course
A sculpture workshop in Agnes’s studio with Nicholas Crombach.
$385 for Agnes members, $400 for non-Agnes members
Registration for this workshop will open at 10am on 14 January 2025.
Explore the art of clay sculpting in this 7-week course with artist Nicholas Crombach. While creating a life-sized sculpture of a head, participants will learn essential techniques, including building an armature, sculpting from observation, and preparing their work for firing. A model will be present for four classes as a live reference during the study of expression, proportion, and form.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this class offers an exciting journey into the sculpting process!
Essential materials are provided. Please note that the cost of kiln firing is not included in the course fee and firing your final sculpture is optional. The price will range from $30 to $50, depending on the dimensions of your sculpture.
