Workshops
SCULPT FROM LIFE MODEL
Small-group, sculpture workshops in a working foundry.
From our stunning Leicestershire countryside location, and adjacent to our sculpture garden, take part in our clay sculpture workshops, with expert tuition and a delicious lunch in the gallery.
All abilities welcome!
LOCATION
Set in a small village in the countryside of Leicestershire, our foundry and workshop rooms provide the perfect backdrop for creativity. You are also free to wander through the Sculpture Garden where many of Lloyd and Judith’s pieces can be found.
TUITION
Our expert tutors are all practising artists, with teaching experience and a wealth of knowledge in their field. They provide live demonstrations and you’ll receive individual critiques and guidance throughout.
Please visit our Tutors page for bios on our workshop tutors: Hywel Pratley; Andrian Melka; and Tristan MacDougall.
MATERIALS
All materials and tools for the workshops are provided, including wooden armatures and water-based clay.
At the end of the session you’ll be able to take your sculpture home in clay or look to cast in plater or even bronze!
LUNCH
Each day we provide a home-made and carefully curated lunch for all workshop attendees to enjoy together.
These are informal, sit-down lunches taken in the gallery over-looking the sculpture garden.
