New Sculpture by Damien Lucas
Damien Lucas, our teacher at ‘Myocum school of sculpture’, has been working on this large portrait sculpture which he originally worked in clay and did a plaster mould last week.
He has some repair work to do on his sculpture and needed to soak it in the water (our pool here at ‘emisiy’) before repairing and in the next few weeks he will colour the sculpture.
‘Myocum school of sculpture’ started its first term of the year last week so more stories to follow.
