Sculpture classes are for both beginners and experienced artists. The focus is creating figurative, representational, and non-representational forms in clay. Areas of emphasis include building techniques, glaze processes, non-fired painting techniques, and finding your own personal style in clay. Time will be spent on exploring the elements and principles of design, contemporary artist influences, and art history. The class will work with water-based clay. Supplies will be discussed on the first day of class. Just bring an apron if you don’t want to get messy! Open to students ages 14 and up. *Clay available for purchase.

Explore the human form like never before in this studio course focused on Écorché—the classical study of human anatomy through both drawing and sculpture. Students will gain a deep understanding of skeletal and muscular structures, learning how anatomy influences surface form and movement. Through detailed observational drawing and three-dimensional sculpture work, students will build anatomical accuracy, improve figure drawing skills, and develop a stronger foundation for realistic and expressive artwork.

In this course, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of subtractive sculpture by learning how to carve plaster using a variety of hand tools. Emphasizing process and technique, students will explore how to shape, refine, and manipulate solid blocks of plaster to create three-dimensional forms. Through hands-on practice, they will gain an understanding of material properties, tool handling, and the artistic possibilities of reduction-based sculpting. Projects will focus on both abstract and representational forms, encouraging individual creativity while building essential sculptural skills. Open to ages 14 and up.
