Sculpting 101 Workshop & Potluck with Morris Norvin

Sunday, May 15 · 10:00am - 3:00pm: We will break around noon for a potluck, so please bring something for everyone to share.

This workshop will teach students the basics of sculpting including the following techniques:

• additive and subtractive forms of sculpting
• methods and practices of achieving proportion on the human figure
• proportions and methods of sculpting the human head, and rendering animals from life and print
• and students will learn basic design for their projects.

Students will work on individual projects and are encouraged to arrive prepared with several ideas and/or images to sculpt. Those interested can learn to make a bust in clay of a friend or relative. Students should come prepared with tools if available and pencil & paper to sketch out ideas.
