Ages 16+

A ten-week evening sculpture course for adults at Chiswick House, working from a live model.

This sculpture class runs on Wednesday evenings in the new Learning Hub at Chiswick House, guided by professional sculptor Gillian Brett. It's open to absolute beginners as well as those with some experience of sculpture or working with clay, and the small group size means everyone gets individual attention and feedback from the tutor as they go. Over the ten-week term you'll work on a number of projects, including a portrait bust and a figurative sculpture, at times working directly from a live professional model. All tools, materials and equipment are provided, so there's nothing extra to bring. This is an adults-only class for ages 16 and over.
