MAKE A BUST (6-week course)

Make a bust out of clay. A bust is a sculpture of a head with a neck, shoulders and chest. Do a portrait of someone you know or make something from your imagination.
 

We meet for six weeks in the ceramic studio on the 3rd floor.

At first, we practise our sense of shapes and proportions by doing croquis in clay and on paper.

Absalon has templates to help you create the basic form. Once this is done it’s time for you to add personality and character with shape, colours and glaze.
