Sculpture Workshop

SCULPTURE WORKSHOP WITH DONNA WILLAR-MOORE - 6 April 2013

Donna Willard-Moore, Fine Arts Tutor at WITT, ran a workshop to introduce club members to the art of sculpture.  Donna outlined some key principles of portraiture and slab construction over an armature whilst modelling a sculpture portrait from a photo of Martin Luther King.  The photographs below show the transformation from muddy snowman through alien to humanoid!  In under two hours the club members were inspired.  Our thanks to Donna for sharing her skill and passion for portraiture and sculpture with us and for inspiring us to step outside our comfort zones and try something new.

CLUB RAKU FIRING - March 2013
Due to the rain falling heavily during the week, the club did not have to cancel their raku firing due to a possible fire risk.  The day was well attended with a few new faces joining the regulars.  Some wonderful pieces emerged from the burnt sawdust.
