Have you ever looked at a sculpture and wondered, “How did the artist do that?” In this three-day workshop, students will learn how to create a likeness in clay using a portrait model as the subject. As you sculpt, you will explore ways of creating a variety of moods. There will be instructor demonstrations throughout the workshop, including a demo of how to capture facial expressions. There will also be discussions on finishing your sculpture, applying cold patinas on fired clay, and simple mold making techniques.

Cox, Jerry

Jerry Cox has a unique ability to capture life in his sculpture with each telling a story. Each sculpture is a portrait describing with usual sensitivity our lives and memories. Jerry graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1967 where he studied figurative sculpture with David Seyler. He has taught at Scottsdale Artists' School since 1991. When not busy teaching, jerry creates joy and magic by bringing clay to life at his studio in Paradise Valley.
