CLASS DESCRIPTION
Join sculptor Stephanie LeBaudour at our community studio to learn the basics of sculpting. Over the course of 8 weeks you will learn solid construction, coil joining techniques, and slab construction for sculptural applications. Learn how to plan your pieces and make maquettes using 2 dimensional reference material and then how to make those plans a reality in 3D. Stephanie will talk about structure, attachments, hollowing, and more. Create the subject matter of your choice. This class offers the opportunity to talk about your work and receive feedback from your teacher and peers as wanted. Each class is 3 hours, your teacher will give instruction at the beginning of each class and then be available throughout the rest of the work time to answer questions.
