Jo’s Story by Samantha Welch
“When I came to the Myocum School of Sculpture, I had no idea what I was going to create or how I would create it for that matter. I just had this yearning desire to have a go at sculpture, working with clay.
With the support and gentle guidance of my teacher Damian, I decided to do an abstract of the female torso inspired by a piece by Arp. I really loved this piece as it really accentuated the curves of the female figure, it flowed and had continuity.
As it was my first piece, I learnt a lot during the process, particularly that the structure beneath all the layers is what shapes and directs your work, so that needs your attention and patience at the start. I felt at times that my piece was not going to turn out how I had envisaged it, but with trusting the guidance Damian gave me I got the end result I wanted. It took me a term to complete this piece, but I am really glad that I gave it the time and patience as I feel it is smooth and flowing, and beautiful reflection of the female figure.”
And here are some images of Jo’s creation … well done Jo !
