Last Day of second term by Samantha Welch
I would like to thank Tori, who was our model for the term.
Tori is a professional model for sculptors and painters to work with and she was outstanding.
Thankyou Tori from all the students from “myocum school of sculpture” and we look forward to working with you early next year
Samantha (Founder of the school)

Plaster everywhere by Samantha Welch
Well I tried to set a neat example this week but didn’t make it. In the process of plastering my mould I got plaster everywhere:
I got more plaster on me
Sam plastering her mould ... and herself
Meanwhile at our Wednesday class Cath was making a very neat job of it. Cath moved to the northern rivers a few years ago.
Cath also worked under Tom Bass and teachers sculpture and will be starting to teach at “Myocum School of Sculpture” next term and next year.

Life Study Class 2 – by Samantha Welch
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.
