Class Description
In this 2 day 8 hour workshop, you will create a half-sized bust of a person of your choice. You’ll learn how to use reference images—capturing the front, sides, and back of the head—to build a hollow bust using the slab-building technique. We will practice sculpting facial features by pushing out the form from the inside and refining details using the additive method.
All supplies are included in the price, and no prior experience is required.
