Upcoming Workshops
6 Week STANDING FIGURE SCULPTURE
We’re thrilled to announce an opportunity to learn directly from our studio owner, Dorandy — a sculptor whose mastery of form and anatomy sets her work apart. In this six-week figure-sculpting series, students will meet once a week to handbuild a 25" tall figurine, constructing each body part from the feet up to the head. Under Dorandy’s expert guidance, you’ll refine proportion, balance, and gesture, culminating in sculpting facial features with depth and expression. This class offers a unique chance to study the human form through the eyes of a professional sculptor — a learning experience that will challenge, inspire, and elevate your craft. Limited spaces available.
