Enjoy a 3-hour introduction to clay sculpture.
In this short workshop you will complete a small classical male or female torso copy from a plaster original using traditional methods.
Learning to sculpt is easy and fun.
Discover how to manipulate clay and create a sculpture of your very own to take home.
Your instructor, Frank Rekrut, is a professional artist and teacher and director of The Florence Studio.
In this class, You will begin by applying clay to a metal armature (the wire framework that will support the portrait or figure).
The initial clay is shaped to reflect the proportions of the original plaster subject in profile.
Once the proportions are established, you will proceed to build out the clay and fill in the three dimensional form.
You will be amazed at the results!
The Florence Studio is a welcoming environment in a beautiful, light-filled palazzo in the historic centre of Florence and the perfect art setting to learn new skills.
