Clay is a fantastic medium for interpreting the human body and has been used throughout the ages to observe and celebrate the human spirit. In this five-day workshop aimed at beginners, you’ll learn the essential principles of figure sculpting and then apply them to creating a clay figure from real life.

During this workshop, you’ll work with sculptor Neil Grant to learn about gesture, proportion, and lines of grace, along with a little bit of anatomy, as you produce figures in clay. As the class progresses, you’ll be working with a live model to direct and inspire your work.

The class atmosphere is informative, relaxed, and fun, with plenty of demonstrations from Neil and one-on-one instruction as you work. Clay, tools and stands will be provided but students are welcome to bring their own favorite tools if they have them.

Neil Grant is a national award-winning figurative sculptor who lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where he loves to teach classes and workshops, when not working in the studio. He commonly produces artwork in ceramic, resin, and bronze, and is represented by Bowersock Gallery in Provincetown. Neil is currently the Artist in Residence at the Birdhouse on the Cultural Center of Cape Cod’s downtown Hyannis campus.
