Every face is unique.
The core of our work together is to capture and sculpturally realize the characteristic features. The artistic portrait is never just a reflection of the pure physiognomy of the subject, it rather reflects the search for the essence of the portrayed person and at the same time can only be an individual interpretation of the artist.
We will work on a reduced scale on a clay portrait head on the model, learn the basics of the craft and have the opportunity to examine our personal perception of the face. On Monday we will create our own silicone mold, which can be used to make casts in various materials.
If interested, there is the possibility of having the results molded and cast in a bronze foundry.
Material costs of €35 per person are payable.
