Class Description

Description

Clay is the ideal and preferred medium for this comprehensive sculpture class. This ancient material has been a fundamental part of the creative sculptural process in the visual arts for over 13,000 years, representing the very soil of the earth itself. You will gain hands-on experience using various types of specialized tools for shaping an object from the clay's natural plasticity to its final form, preparing it for casting or kiln firing.

The fundamentals of sculpture will be thoroughly addressed through the study of tools, armature construction, and the creative process of making your work. You may select to work with the figure in the round, a fragment piece, a torso, a foot, a hand, or choose to create a bas-relief or composition in the abstract. Lecture presentations and individual critiques are included throughout the course.

All levels of experience and artistic background are welcome in this inclusive learning environment.

Please note: Kiln firing fee is not included in tuition.

No specialized tools are necessary for the first class; all materials will be provided.

School Notes:

Please note, New York School of the Arts charges a $50 one-time registration fee for students who are new to their school. This is automatically added to the cost of your enrollment (and already included in the price listed on this course). If you are a returning student to NYSA, please let us know and we will refund you $50.

  • No refunds will be made after the second class without medical documentation and no refunds will be made after a workshop begins.

Holidays & Canceled Lessons:

We are closed for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring break. If we must close due to the weather, we will send out an email. If classes are canceled, the instructor will work with the school office to schedule a make-up date. We do not refund/prorate for weather closure, and our make-up policy still applies.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
