Sculpting the Figure in Clay with Lori Shorin
Working directly from a live model and using a step by step approach, students can choose to sculpt the full figure, torso, or portrait bust.
In this course students of all levels will sculpt from direct observation of a model in one pose over 4 class sessions. Students will learn a logical approach to developing the observational skills needed to create an accurate and dynamic figure sculpture. No previous experience is necessary.
The sculpture will be created in water-based or oil based clay.
Emphasis will be on understanding proportion, gesture, anatomy, and clay modeling. Each student will receive quality instruction with a special attention to maximizing individual potential.

Each step will be demonstrated and guided throughout the class. The small class structure will enable more one on one attention to students
