Life Sculpting

At long last Quimper Arts has started a life sculpting session! Beginning in April 2023, we’ll host 10-week evening sessions for people who would like to sculpt in clay from a model. We’ll be in the studio of a Quimper Arts member (Wayne) in Quilcene, where he will be hosting and offering some instruction the first session and as needed. There will be two 5-week sessions, with one model/one pose each 5 weeks.

We’ll work in clay, which will be provided at cost (25 lb bags) and is included in the fee. If you prefer to bring your own clay that’s OK. If you want to work in a different medium please discuss with Wayne first. Quimper Arts is also providing sculpture stands, though if you have your own stand you’re welcome to bring it. Stands and unfinished sculptures can be stored at the studio. Wayne should be able to fire your pieces also, for an additional fee (again at cost).

COST: We’re asking people to sign up and pay in advance, $250 for the 10 weeks, to cover the cost of models & clay. Some drop-ins may also be allowed, space-permitting, for $35/session.

WHEN: We’re switching Tuesdays, 5:30-8:30 pm. Though initially planned there was not a summer or fall session, but we’ll start up again in the winter or spring (2024) if there’s enough interest. Let me know if you’d like to sculpt! Call or text Wayne, 206-271-2900.

WHERE: At Wayne’s studio in Quilcene. (206-271-2900). Call if you would like to be a drop-in

WHAT TO BRING: Clay tools for ceramic or sculpture if you have any. I will have some you can use and will talk about what basic tools to get. Snacks if you wish, I’ll provide some also.

WHAT’S PROVIDED: Clay, sculpture stands, boards (or you may also bring your own board to work on), plastic to wrap your sculpture, and temporary storage.
