Sculpting a life-sized bust- a six-day workshop with Tip Toland: August 25-30

Sculpting a life-sized bust- a six-day workshop with Tip Toland  

Registrations for this workshop will begin at 9 am on May 27.           

Limited to 14 students.

$600                   9am-4pm, each day, with an hour for lunch.  Bring a lunch.

Working from handouts or photographs, we’ll build an anatomical life-sized portrait bust with a facial expression.  We’ll sculpt the bust solid on an armature, then hollow it out.  Tip will give numerous demonstrations throughout the six days and will discuss ways to suggest a narrative.  Students can work from a high-resolution life-sized photo or choose from the many handouts Tip will bring with facial expressions. 

The workshop price includes the cost of the clay and the armature.   Firings are not included.  However, once the busts are dry, students can negotiate to bring them back to be fired at the studio at a set date.

We will send all participants more details, a materials list of what to bring and instructions about the photographs and the schedule during the workshop.
