Exploring Bas-Relief : a workshop in clay
This workshop will allow you to discover the fascinating world of relief sculpture, halfway between painting and sculpture in the round. Over six weeks, students will approach volume, light and shadow first through drawing then through building up subjects in clay. One extra session to prepare the pieces for firing will be scheduled with the participants for a later date. All materials are provided. No previous experience is necessary, both beginners and art enthusiasts with experience in either drawing or clay are welcome.
About the instructor: Elizabeth Sircom received her art training in Paris. She returned to live in Nova Scotia in 2013 after living for 20 years in Normandy, France, where she worked as an artist and gave weekly art classes to adults, and workshops to children. Over the 2014/2015 school year she led workshops at the Acadia Art Gallery (adults) and in local schools, through “Paints” (Visual Arts Nova Scotia ) and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia’s ArtsSmarts programme. In her own work she has explored a wide variety of media, often on a portrait theme, and presently focuses on clay sculpture.
Time : Monday nights from 7:00-9:00
Duration : 6 weeks from Oct. 19-Nov. 23
