Portrait Sculpture Series - Nine-Week Workshop

A 9 week series meeting on Tuesday evenings and featuring, Alicia Ponzio, a Florence Academy trained sculptress. Ponzio will guide students through the process of sculpting from life in traditional water based clay, on a wooden armature. Using direct observation, students will learn to read and describe the structural elements of the portrait, and then to explore the form, likeness, and expression of the sitter. Composition as it relates to portrait sculpture will also be discussed. Alicia will work alongside students and offer feedback to individual students during each class.
