Javier Murcia is an accomplished figurative and portrait sculptor who combines his study of both fine arts and anatomy to create figurative works that push human anatomy to its ‘outer’ limits.

Students come to this workshop to learn how to solve issues when making a human body in clay. Something you see a lot among the students is the stiffness of the figures they produce. One of the critical things you will learn in this workshop is to break down the body into different parts. This will help to learn proportions, connect parts and get a more flexible work. 

Sculpting the human figure in clay through a simplified geometrical approach of the volumes, proportions and anatomical posture/movement. Breaking the body and understanding their interconnection helps gaining weight, balance, movement and strong gestures possible. 

We will work with water based clay over an armature to help you build the figure.  No model is required. 

Course cost includes armatures, clay & tools

Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th July
The workshop runs from 9am until 6pm each day
