with Melinda Burkhead
I'm excited to share my passion and process in this immersive six session series where we'll sculpt a ceramic bust from the ground up.
What We'll Explore:
Clay as Flesh: We'll move beyond the basics and treat clay as a living, breathing material. I'll guide you in capturing the nuances of human anatomy and expression.
Building a Foundation: We'll start with a solid armature and learn how to build up the form using coils and slabs, focusing on proportion and structure.
Surface Magic: We'll delve into refining the surface of your sculpture, smoothing transitions, and adding subtle details that make all the difference.
Who is this for?
Beginning to Advanced Students
Portrait Artists Seeking a New Medium: Bring your drawing and sculpting skills to a new dimension with clay.
Anyone with a Passion for the Human Form: If you're fascinated by faces and eager to explore portraiture, this workshop is for you.
