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.

Do you want to learn more about Shakespeare, but don't know where to start? Come join Ms. Shelby for a one-day workshop that will leave actors excited and confident about exploring The Bard's work!

Actors will engage in textual analysis and hands-on activities to help Shakespeare's text come to life and become more accessible to read.

Each student will leave with a monologue that has been worked on during the workshop, and feedback that will help them take their Shakespearean skills to the next level beyond our work session!
