This course offers an introduction to sculptural thinking through direct work with material. Each session focuses on a different approach to form-making, allowing participants to join individually or attend all three as a progression.
The classes emphasize tactile exploration, intuitive decision-making, and sensitivity to material behavior. Working with plaster and mixed materials, participants will create small sculptural studies that can exist as independent works or become part of a larger process.
Session 1 — Contact and Imprint
This session focuses on touch as a starting point for form. Through direct contact with materials, participants explore imprint, pressure, and trace. The process is immediate and responsive, allowing forms to emerge through interaction rather than pre-planning.
Each participant creates a series of small sculptural fragments that capture texture, gesture, and surface.
Session 2 — Building and Tension
This session shifts towards constructing form in space. Participants work with simple armatures and combine plaster with materials such as fabric, wire, or found elements to create structures that balance weight, tension, and instability.
The focus is on how form holds itself — how materials support, resist, and interact with each other.
Session 3 — Body and Casting
This session introduces life casting as a way of working directly with the body. Using alginate and plaster, participants will create casts of body fragments such as hands or other small forms.
The process focuses on presence, contact, and the translation of the body into material — capturing detail, surface, and trace through direct impression.
Instead of make up classes we offer 3 hours of open studio time and no instruction included during open studio time.
No make ups or refunds are available due to the limited size and special nature of the class. If you miss a class, we will provide you with extra open studio time.
