MRBS Member of Royal British Sculptors. Jan is not only a world renowned wildlife artist she is also an experienced and enthusiastic teacher. She has her own method of creating the bronze sculptures which have sold all over the world but also has the flexibility to help you develop your own signature methods and style. You want to make a sculpture. There is an artist inside you. You have the idea and you have the creative urge. But how do you get from your creative idea to the dramatic piece on your sideboard or your terrace. No, it isn't easy, but it is easier than it looks. And it is hugely exciting and satisfying. A course in Jan Sweeney's Somerset studio will give you the key to unlock that world. Ceramic Sculpture Course This course is offered over a choice of 2 to 3 days. The purpose of this course is to produce your own finished clay based sculpture. Participants will learn how to work with clay and in particular how to build up the shape working with hollow forms as opposed to solid clay. Jan is one of the few artists to use this method. The advantage is that it produces a light model which is easy to work with, needs no complex system of support and wires and, crucially, is much easier and quicker to fire in a kiln. Some may want to take the clay sculpture home, as it is, others may want it fired which can be done by agreement, still others may want to use their clay as the first step in casting in bronze. Mould Making Workshop This course is available over 3 to 4 days. You will need to make a clay sculpture in the studio. You will then make a 2 piece mould using silicone rubber with a plaster jacket, and follow this by pouring a wax to take to the foundry. Tariff : &pound;95 per day, including lunch. Maximum 4 people. Materials charged at cost. Mould making courses can be an extension of the clay sculpture course by arrangement. If people want other dates please get in touch.
