Discover the basics of figurative sculpture and learn to model the human body in clay. By observing volumes and proportions, you'll learn to build a simple, expressive figure. This workshop is accessible to all, allowing you to explore the pleasure of giving form to the living.

Workshop schedule (2h30):

• This session invites you to observe and understand the major masses of the body in order to build a balanced figure. Accompanied step by step by a teaching artist, you'll learn to structure your sculpture and gradually refine the volumes.
• Understanding proportions and volumes: After an introduction to the basics of simplified anatomy, you'll learn how to lay out the main masses and build a coherent silhouette. Emphasis will be placed on proportions, axes and overall posture balance.
• Modeling and giving expression: You will then develop your sculpture by clarifying volumes and working on attitude. Gestures, body tilts and shape transitions will bring character and presence to your work.

An immersive workshop for discovering figurative sculpture and creating an expressive silhouette with your own hands!
