Creating a Lifelike Bust

Learn to form realistic features and facial expressions that add depth and soul to your work.  This ongoing class will teach you how to make a simple clay bust, model realistic faces, and demonstrate surface design and textures.  We will use a basic slab technique, cutting and assembling the pieces to form the bust, neck and head.  Additional clay is attached to form the features, clothing and hair. Underglazes may then be applied to begin the process of painting the work with patterns and stencils, to give your piece a unique surface of coloration and design.

Class meets:  April 4th, 5th, 6th, and 11th
