Description:  

Discover the fundamentals of figure sculpture in this hands-on class with Cindy Free designed for adult beginners and intermediate artists. Working with Plastiline clay and using a life-size 3D model for reference, you’ll sculpt a 1/4 scale human figure from start to finish. Learn how to build your own armature and stand, study body proportions, and apply basic anatomy as you sculpt each section of the figure. You’ll also explore how gesture and balance can bring your work to life. With both group instruction and personalized feedback, this workshop offers a supportive space to grow your skills. All materials are included. Just bring your interest in the human form and a willingness to learn through doing.
