Requirements

  • No knowledge of sculpture of any kind is necessary.
  • It is important to have a sculpture project to work: it is a 100% practical course and it is important that you work on a piece of your choice, so that your hands get used to master the materials and tools.
  • If you still do not have a sculpture project, you can take the course and let yourself be inspired by it, but then you must elaborate your own figure (or make a similar one to mine) so that the knowledge is practical and not theoretical.
  • Persistence: not always everything will come out the first time. You have to exercise and repeat the exercises. Little by little everything will turn out exactly as you imagined it.
  • You want to experiment: making sculpture is fun!
  • A space to work: a table with good light is sufficient
  • Lista de materiales disponible en la clase gratuita "materiales"
