Sydney Sculpture School provides sculpture classes for complete beginners through to advanced sculptors, in a relaxed, friendly and encouraging environment. Students are free to work on their own choice of project at their own pace. Beginners are guided through a practical method which is designed to teach a reliable technique of building a three dimensional form and to build confidence before mov
ing onto more challenging projects. The idea is to make the process of creating a sculpture as easy as possible, rather than becoming overwhelming. Of course once you have the basics, there is a lifetime of improving and honing your skills. Although there are life models in all classes, students are free to explore figurative through to abstract and are encouraged to develop their own style, rather than creating clones of our teachers. All of our teachers are professional sculptors who have completed private and public commissions, as well as producing their own bodies of work. For the more advanced sculptors there are a number of areas for improving on your skill base. For those wishing to pursue figurative work, Sydney Sculpture School employs only the best professional models. The school also has it's own sculpture foundry and runs workshops on all aspects of the bronze process from mould making through to finishing and patination of the bronze. The main focus of the school is on modelling in mediums such as modelling clay or wax, but periodic workshops are arranged to enable students to explore other approaches such as carving etc and experts in each field are invited to run those workshops. Whether you are a complete beginner or a more advanced sculptor wishing to hone your skills and connect with other like minded people, Sydney Sculpture School has a friendly and encouraging group of teachers and students who are genuinely interested in helping you to explore and improve.
