Unlock the secrets of professional sculpture in this intensive, one-week studio!

Figures in Motion moves beyond basic clay modeling to teach the “inside-out” method used by master sculptors. Students will learn to engineer custom wire armatures-internal skeletons that provide the strength and balance needed for dynamic, gravity-defying poses.

Whether your interest lies in wildlife, human anatomy, or character design, this class provides the technical foundation to bring your vision to life.

With three hours of daily studio time, students will have the “creative breathing room” to focus on anatomical accuracy, structural engineering, and fine surface textures. The workshop is designed to support individual goals, allowing students to work at their own pace to produce a portfolio of work or a single, highly refined sculpture.

Ages 13-18
