Instructor: Louise Warner
This course will guide each student to use their imagination or idea and turn it into a sculpture of their own. Come to the first class with a fun idea to inspire! A picture, sketch or magazine image is very helpful. Something with movement works best. Remember to keep it fairly simple in design since we will keep these sculptures to a scale close to 12'x 8'. The first step will be building an armature and base followed by using the two part resin putty to build out your form. Students will then use a Dremel tool to sculpt the finishing touches and finish with a custom patina. Materials for this course are specifically listed in the confirmation email and will cost between $50 and $75 per student and are supplied by the student.
