Sculpting The Portrait in Low Relief
Delaplaine Arts Center, Frederick, MD
Saturday, July 26th 10-4 & Sunday, July 27th 12-4
Taking inspiration from the portrait reliefs of Saint-Gaudens, Verrocchio, and other Renaissance masters, sculpt a portrait in bas (low) relief using a personal photo (in profile view) as your reference. Learn techniques for creating the illusion of depth in a shallow space and combine drawing and sculpting to create a shallow relief that can be wall-mounted after firing.
Topics explored will include composition, properties of clay, preparation for firing, and finishing details. This weekend workshop is open to all levels of sculpting but best for students with some drawing experience. Tuition includes supplies and firing.
NOTE: This workshop meets on Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm.
