I will have extra of many of the following. Many of these tools are simple things you will have around the house or studio. I'm looking forward to our time at Camp Brotherhood. Following are the tools you might want ot bring for this class, and quick instructions for a simple, reuseable armature. It's what I will use to build my demonstration piece. Technically, wet clay is the easiest to work with, and the quickest way to a finished piece. I have worked with these materials for about 25 years, and along the way, learned some great tricks in the commercial jewelry production industry. Wax models are usually made for lost wax bronze casting, or if small enough-silver or gold. The material used to pour into the mold can be plaster, cold cast stone or bronze, cement or hot cast bronze. Plastilina is used to build a model from which a mold is made. I will discuss methods for building in plastilina (an oil-based clay), wax working, and terra cotta. We have a lovely model I've worked with before, and you should be able to take home a completed piece. The torso is the most vital area of the body and will provide the most planes and curves. The next two mornings will be spent building a torso in clay or wax. See the attached supply list for what to bring for this part of the class.
I like to work with charcoal and will be showing you some quick shading tricks for capturing values that describe volume. Both Sabah and I will be sharing our knowledge with you. We will spend the first three hours sketching the model. When you know these techniques, your studies can become salable pieces exhibited alongside your finished stone. One of the most important skills you will take away from this class are the simple steps that will turn your maquette into a piece that is technically right for successfully firing or casting into bronze. and provide inspiration for later pieces. Quick sketches, careful measurements and plastic sculpting mediums help us get the most out of our time with a live model. It will be my great pleasure to share some tricks I've learned over the years to sketch and sculpt the human form in clay, wax or plastilina.
