The complete resource for realist sculptors
At The Sculpture School we are committed to passing on the professional skills, techniques and artistic understanding that underpin great realist sculpture.
We are now placing greater focus on high-quality online learning, but our mission is always to inspire and equip the next generation of figurative realist sculptors, wherever they are in the world. Alongside our online programme, we will continue to offer occasional bespoke in-person workshops throughout the year depending on demand.
THE SCULPTURE SCHOOL ON TOUR
We are also excited to announce we will be taking The Sculpture School on tour, bringing our teaching to sculptors internationally, with a workshop taking place in Iceland this September. We have previously presented our figurative sculpture workshops in Stockholm and Edinburgh.
We want to make sure we offer the right resources for you. Please complete our short ‘Expression of Interest’ form to let us know which subjects, workshops, locations and learning opportunities you would most like to see in the future. (Link to come)
