All Levels $80-$130 Materials and Studio Fees*
Explore storytelling though clay as you learn the fundamentals of building half-life scale busts using an armature. You will select an individual of personal significance to create a bust that visually represents a story or idea. Solid building on an armature will allow for quickly getting the basic structure of the individual, and participants will be instructed on the basics of capturing a likeness in clay. Group discussions on visual storytelling and idea generation will be the foundation for the completion of the work, culminating in the creation of a unique work of art. More advanced students will have time to hone their own style and skills.
*Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
