Hone your artistic skills and learn the processes involved in representing the reclining figure in 3D, from first sketch to sculptural experimentation. Taking inspiration from artworks in the Collection and through working with life models in our studio, we’ll guide you through a range of approaches and materials for drawing, and for sculpting in wax, clay and wire.

By the end of the course, you’ll have created a diverse portfolio of drawings of the body, worked on a quarter-life-size figurative sculpture, and have had opportunities for 1-1 and group discussion on artistic processes and materials.
