Courses & Art classes
Sculpture courses range from 2-day and 3-day masterclasses to shorter day art classes, each designed to develop your skills in a creative and supportive environment. During the masterclasses, you’ll explore different techniques, from drawing into sculpture using life models, as well as animal or bird models, to mixed media sculpture using clay, wax, hay, and scrim etc. All levels are welcome, whether you’re a beginner or have prior experience. Due to high demand, day art classes have a waiting list—please email Clare to secure your spot. Join in and bring your artistic vision to life!
