Information

5-Day Workshop
June 4-8
Monday-Friday 9:30am-4:30pm

Maquette making allows us to quickly see a form in its entirety, and develop proportions and gesture with minimal effort. This hands-on workshop will focus on the techniques for creating larger work by scaling up from a maquette. The first day will focus on creating a maquette between 6”-10”. The rest of the week, we will create a large-scale version of the maquette using rulers, calipers and a grid. Krista will share techniques for building in removable sections (which makes it both easier on the body and able to fit in the car on the ride home!) This workshop will be geared towards students with some clay experience who are interested in learning the special considerations surrounding large scale sculpting. Krista will offer advice on repairing cracks, maintaining consistent wall thickness and discuss appropriate weights.
