We have found our pose which is indicated in the maquette of the first photo.

The following photos are of Damien teaching us to make our armature in wire and nailing the armature to the wooden broads.
It is very important to capture the gesture of the pose in the armature.

The next photos are of the students putting the clay onto the armature and we spent a good 3 hours working with the clay and looking at our model, moving around the studio capturing and understanding the pose.

Damien teaches us to roll the clay and draw with the clay.

A very productive day of work.

We have two students in our class who have never done any sculpting before and they are both really enjoying and learning the process.
