The sculpture materials offered are clay, plaster, plaster bandage, wire, wire mesh, stone and some mould making materials. Practical techniques and process include: - observational clay modelling - enlarging to scale - maquette making - soft brick, plaster and stone carving - mould making and plaster casting - plaster modelling onto polystyrene - wire armature making - wire construction - mod roc and plaster modelling - clay relief Class size is up to a six maximum to allow each individual the support, time and space to explore materials, techniques and ideas in a supportive and open approach to imagination. Thursday evening 7.00 - 9.30 Classes are offered on a termly 10-week basis and are taught by Ivan Daggett who is an established tutor in Fine Art.
