Figure Sculpture
Create a full reclining figure sculpture in clay from a life model.
Course overview
Explore figure sculpture from a life model on this 3-day course taught by Emily Roberts, an artist and sculptor who specialises in working from life.
Based in a fantastic life drawing studio on our Falmouth campus, you’ll work from a life model always available each day as a reference point as you learn to mould a figure and look at proportion, musculature, surface texture and likeness.
You’ll leave with your raw clay sculpture that you can take home and continue working on, or for an optional extra cost this can be fired as a final sculpture for collection at a later date.
