Come study ceramic sculpture with me in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico!
San Miguel, in the mountains of
central Mexico, is known for its history, its art, its food, its music, its
walkability, its charm. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Miguel is full
of museums, galleries, studios, shops, festivals, parades and multiculturalism.
Estudio Paloma is a fully equipped
studio and your hours outside the workshop can be filled with all that San
Miguel has to offer.
The Workshop / Observing the Human Condition
In this workshop, we will spend our
mornings working with a Life Model, honing our observational practice of
gesture, contour, proportions, and the complex interaction of forms that make
up the human figure. In the afternoons, we will each work on a personal
artwork, exploring the expressive potentials of sculpting human beings.
I will give several demonstrations
throughout the week on working with the figure in clay. Demonstrations will
include large coil building, bas-relief, and portrait sculpture. The sessions
with the live model will be done in solid clay, which will be hollowed later.
The personal projects will be built hollow with coil and/or slab building
techniques. Idea development will be discussed, but please come prepared with a
few sketches of ideas and visual reference materials.
Workshop Fee: $800
