Intro to the art of sculpting the human head and shoulders using air dry clay and an armature. A series of 3 consecutive classes will provide the foundational skills to build a human bust.
Instructor
Gordy Printz has been intrigued with sculpting the human head since his teens. While visiting his wife’s family in Germany during 2019, he was reintroduced to ceramic sculpture. Since then his education has been from the world wide web and his daily practice. He is excited to share his love for this type of sculpture by teaching this course..
