Simplified Figures Workshop with Javier Murcia

Join us in a captivating sculptural workshop led by the renowned artist Javier Murcia. With an impressive background in figurative and portrait sculpting, Javier has an extensive portfolio of both private and public exhibitions, including notable projects like Gallipoli and The Scale of Our War at Te Papa.

All skill levels are warmly welcomed to join us for this enriching experience. 21st and 22nd of June 10am to 4pm (approx.)

$545 p/p

During these engaging sessions, Javier demonstrates how to break the body into simple geometric parts. This mindset helps students grasp the body’s mechanics so you can estimate the range of motion of each segment of the body. All models, regardless of their body shapes, have bone reference points. Javier also explains how this core structure of the figure can then be made to hold weight and balance.

Clay and armature is included but please note that the course fee does not cover the cost of tools.
If desired, Javier has tools available to purchase though his website (workshopsculpting.com/producto/spatulas/), though they will also be available for purchase on the day.

We look forward to having you join us for this creative exploration under the guidance of a true master. Don't miss out on this chance to hone your sculpting skills in a supportive and inspiring environment.
