Clay Portrait

Wednesday evenings
8 February to 4 April 2012, 6.30-9pm

Working with a model for the first 8 weeks, this course teaches how to produce a life-sized portrait head in clay. The final session is without a model to allow for the hollowing out stage. Heads are then kept at ESW until dry (minimum 6 weeks) and then fired, all of which is included in the course cost. Finishing techniques and methods for presentation of finished pieces will be discussed in the later classes.

Places limited to 10.
