Sculpt the figure under the guidance of renowned sculptor Rick Casali at his private north-light studio. Artists will create a seated or standing figure in stoneware clay on a removable armature. Each day will feature numerous demos by Casali explaining the essential knowledge for making life-like figures with sound anatomy. Topics covered: “action” of pose, human proportions, geometric planes, specific anatomy, and the organic rhythms that tie it all together.

Recommended for portrait painters, sculptors, wood carvers, students of drawing, and computer animators. All skill levels welcome.

Complimentary coffee, tea, and cold seltzer provided . Bring either bag lunch to eat in the studio or outside (weather permitting) or there are 2 waterfront restaurants within walking distance. Microwave, fridge, and hot water heater in studio.
