These classes are for everyone – no previous experience is necessary, although experienced artists would also enjoy them. Everyone can work at their own pace and on their own projects. All materials and equipment will be provided, and there will be somewhere to leave your sculptures between classes. We will not be using very messy materials, but you may want to wear old clothes or an apron. It may be useful to bring a phone or tablet to look up any reference material that you might want. There is free WiFi at The Hive.
The courses are 5, 6 or 7 weeks long, dependant on B&NES academic term lengths. They run from 1 to 3pm, and we will stop for a refreshment break from The Swallow Café half-way through.
This course will follow Government Covid-Secure Guidelines, in order to comply, behave responsibly, and have everyone feel secure. As a result, for the time being, participants will be asked to maintain social distancing and wear a face covering at all times when in the building. Please do not attend the class if you have any Covid symptoms, and please let us know if you subsequently test positive, having attended a class. We will update this guidance as the Government advice changes.

Sculpture classes for all!
Fantastic, engaging classes to enliven your creativity, re-connect with what matters to you, and create successful small-scale sculpture to take home.
You will be guided through how to:
Locate something that is important to you to explore or express.
Envisage a subject that conveys that feeling or communication.
Understand which ideas will work successfully as sculpture.
Create a solid armature, or framework, to support the project.
Model with wax-based materials to build up a 3-dimentional form.
Work with reference material to refine your understanding.
Finish off your sculpture to a level of completion.
Take this understanding forwards to your next idea or iteration.
The emphasis of these classes is to enable you express yourself by supporting both technical knowledge and creative freedom.
I find it more useful to encourage continuous trial and discovery, rather than to be fixated on perfecting one particular piece – the most successful artworks seem to happen by a process of working with as much integrity as possible, whilst letting go of the outcomes!
