About this course

Sculpture is the art of organising mass and space, and it rewards a few reliable methods far more than raw talent. This course teaches the full beginner workflow across the four classic entry materials — modelling clay over an armature, plaster as both a positive and a carving block, bent and soldered wire as line in space, and found-object assemblage. You finish able to plan, build, cast, and finish a sculpture in the round and to talk about it in the language sculptors actually use.
