LOCATION NOTE: This class will be taking place at our Georgetown Location.

Sculpting from a cast is as valuable an experience as master copy drawing and is a requisite for improving your eye and hand, and a prerequisite for sculpting from the live model. Sculpting will transform your understanding of form and can radically improve your work from life.

In this three-day intensive you will work with Mike Magrath and Clara Schmitt of the Magrath Sculpture Atelier, to learn a reliable and solid method for sculpting as it is taught in the sculpture atelier. You will make a full-scale copy directly in clay from a plaster cast which will be yours to keep.

In this workshop we will focus on Michelangelo's River God (cropped portion as seen in image). This workshop is accessible for all levels, though those with a drawing foundation will find they have many of the requisite skills. It is perfect for Atelier students who are looking for an introduction to and a solid grounding in sculpture.

Tuition price includes - clay for class as well as your own cast for you to work from and take home

*Atelier students, please reach out to Registrar directly to enroll.
