Figure/Torso Sculpture

Master the art of sculpting the human form in this immersive 5-day workshop led by the experienced sculptor Alexandra Slava. Designed for all skill levels, this experience blends evening sessions (Wednesday–Friday, 18:30–21:30) with weekend mornings (Saturday–Sunday, 10:00–14:00) for a convenient yet intensive format.

In this hands-on workshop, you may choose to sculpt either a 1/3 life-size full figure or a 3/4 scale torso in clay, working from a life model. With expert guidance, in-depth lectures, and personalized feedback, you’ll refine your understanding of proportions, anatomy, and gesture, bringing dynamic realism to your sculpture.

With a small group format and a personalized teaching approach, the workshop welcomes participants of all skill levels and creative goals.

Upon completion, clay sculptures can be preserved through firing or casting at an additional cost. Learn more about our Mold-Making & Casting Courses.
