Min 7, Max 15
$160, Lunch included
How does one go about sculpting representational figures without a model?
This course will explore making three-dimensional models by casting parts of
the body, how to translate two-dimensional images into three-dimensional
form and how to accurately change the scale of work. Students will learn
various hand building techniques and will work with plaster and alginate
molds. Bring your measuring tape, sketchbook, and imagination for two days
sculpture making mania!
Keith Smith is a figurative sculptor working primarily in ceramics and cast
metal with a longstanding commitment to making and teaching art. In 1994 he
received a BS at Morgan State University in Baltimore, and an MD in art

Gainesville, FL where he received an MFA in 1999 and went on to teach,
