Join ATYN and Genuine Quirk at House Of Toad, where all are welcome!

We are teaming up once more with Genuine Quirk, who will be providing you all with self drying clay, and a lesson, so that you can create your own clay sculpture to take home:

Clay Sculpture Class: Sculpting the Torso
This class explores sculpting the torso using different techniques inspired by life drawing. Working with a live nude model, you will have a chance to try out three short technique exercises before creating a final bust to take home.
We ask you either wear old clothes (or bring an old towel) and a cardboard box to take your sculpture home in ( your sculpture will be approx. 180mm tall and 100mm wide)
---
6:00 – 6:10 | Welcome & Introduction
- Brief overview of the class structure.
- Quick intro to materials and tools.
- Emphasis on exploration—these exercises help loosen up and observe form before committing to a final piece.

6:10 – 6:25 | Exercise 1 – Pinching & Molding (No Adding or Subtracting Clay)
Demo (2 min):
- Show how to shape the torso using only pinching, pressing, and stretching without adding or removing clay.
- Focus on bold, broad movements, feeling the form rather than details.

6:25 – 6:40 | Exercise 2 – Subtractive Sculpting (Only Removing Clay)
Demo (2 min):
- Demonstrate blocking out a solid shape and carving into it to reveal the torso.

6:40 – 6:55 | Exercise 3 – Additive Sculpting (Only Adding Clay)
Demo (2 min):
- Show how to build the torso by gradually adding clay, layering muscles and contours.
- Demonstrate soft blending techniques.

6:55 – 7:10 | Break (15 min

7:10 – 8:00 | Final Sculpt – Freestyle Bust Using Any Technique

Sculpt a Final torso piece to take home, using any of the techniques practiced earlier.
Your final sculpture will take 24-48 hours to air dry and can be either left as is or painted using any paints (acrylics, gouche, oil etc) and finished using a varnish or PVA glue.
Spaces are currently limited (20), so booking is essential.

You are of course welcome to come and draw, if you would rather not sculpt, but places will all be charged at the same cost for this session.

Hope to see you all there!
