This ongoing figure sculpture session meets once a week with a shared cost of the life model. The model fee is divided between the open sculpture class participants. A minimum of five artist participants are required to enable the hire of a life-model for each meeting. Several open groups meet throughout the week at the studio. Please call to arrange for participation. No instruction is offered for the Open Groups, and all levels of experience are welcome. For a Sculpture Class or Drawing Class please refer to the Class descriptions, as well as the Google Calendar. Materials used in the sculpture session are limited to drawing materials, aqueous based mediums, oil painting with non-toxic, and non-odor producing mediums, or non-sulfur based plastelene. Each meeting is four hour or three-hour classes with the life model in one pose. The first few sessions of the figure sculpture involve drawing short five minutes to twenty minutes or forty minutes poses to decide on a pose. the remainder of the session with the chosen pose will last generally anywhere from several months, or sometimes more.

The ongoing Figure Sculpture Open Group continues usually for 12 sessions or more. Open Sculpture Group – Day / or Eve. – down payment of $280.00 prior to each 7 sessions – day, 4 hours; or 7 sessions – evening, 3 hours (amounts to $40.00 per session). Currently enrolled paid instruction-based sculpture class students receive a discount on the Open Sculpture Group with life model $ 231.00 paid prior to each 7 Sculpture Open Group sessions (amounts to $ 33.00 per open sculpture session).

Participants are responsible for their own materials. Easels, paper, drawing supplies, sculpture tools, sculpture armatures, and plastelene are supplied by the participants joining the workshop – either for drawing, or sculpture. Countersunk screws are required on the underside of the figure armature – a smooth surface on the side of the board placed on the wheeled sculpture stands. Wheeled Stands are available for the sculpture armature. Information / supply list / instructions on a well designed, and constructed portrait, figure, or relief sculpture armature is available by request from Brad Parker. Plastelene should be used, not water clay since water clay produces an enormous amount of dust, and debris – so no water clay is allowed for use in the studio. Chavant NSP, Soft, Red Brown – Non-Sulfur Plastelene, or Chavant La Beaux Touche HM Brown Red is the better product of the various plastelenes or a wax based modeling clay such as classic clay modeling wax…
