The Expressive Portrait - Intensive Portrait Workshop

October 15-26, 2007 - Shelton, Washington

Learn how to turn clay into flesh and hair and personality! We will spend two weeks on nothing but portrait sculpture. Find out what are the most important things to get right in order to achieve a successful portrait, and learn professional techniques for getting them right. And once you've got it right, learn from a master portrait sculptor the finishing secrets which breathe life into the clay head, so that it seems about to speak, smile or cry. We will start by making a clay copy of a skull, then learn the facial muscles that create expression by modeling them on a plaster skull. We will make life-size head studies from two models, one male and one female. The workshop will be held at Cristina Mikulasek's farm studio near the beautiful Olympic Peninsula. If coming from afar, try to add on a week or two for hiking and camping and beachwalking! $1150 tuition includes instruction, models, materials and a wonderful lunch everday (during which time we'll talk about great portrait sculptors!). It does not include travel or living expenses. Housing can be arranged to suit. Class limit 12.
