SUNDAY JANUARY 3
Sculpture in a Day - Sue Alexopoulos
This popular introduction to sculpture takes the student through the process of making a small relief from selected references in clay. A mould is then made and the sculpture is cast into plaster. A great way for new students to experience sculpture and the process that our term based workshops provide in greater detail.

MONDAY JANUARY 4 TO FRIDAY JANUARY 8
Life Study Intensive – Michael Christie
Working from a model for the first 3 days, you will make a sculptural study in clay of the human form. For the remaining 2 days you will complete modelling and make a plaster waste mould. If time permits you can cast in plaster and work to refine it.

SATURDAY JANUARY 9 TO MONDAY JANUARY 11
Carving Workshop - Paul Hopmeier
Paul has taught with us on many occasions and is a popular Summer School teacher. He will help each person to find a suitable subject. This will be influenced by the student’s experience in carving. A suitable medium for this class is Limestone. Experienced carvers may attempt sandstone.

SATURDAY JANUARY 16 TO MONDAY JANUARY 18
Portrait from a Life Class: 3 Days with a model – Wendy Black
In this workshop participants will make an armature and create a portrait study of the life model in clay. If students wish to cast their work they are encouraged to do this in the regular term classes.

SUNDAY JANUARY 24
Life Drawing day – Michael Christie
Enjoy an intensive day of drawing with the life model. From his broad teaching experience Michael will guide you to develop the skills of putting what you ‘see’ on to paper. Drawing specifically for sculpture will also be explored.
