Participants are encouraged to explore the potential of the third dimension through the use of three traditional materials: clay, wax and plaster. Each material is also adaptable to nontraditional contemporary processes that allow new and individual interpretation. This introductory course is to help participants become familiar with the basic techniques, vocabulary, and safety procedures of the sculptural medium. It is meant for beginners as well as those wishing to add to their repertoire of media.

This course will introduce the basic principles of modeling wax and clay as it relates to capturing the essence of the human figure. Two models: one male, one female will give extended pose over four sessions each, in order to give the participants ample time to explore the figure in the third dimension with the individual attention of the instructor. Each person will have the opportunity to complete two 1:5 scale figurative sculptures as well as learning about other modeling materials suited for studies of the figure.
