Courses
I host workshops throughout the year from the Sculpture Lounge, near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire.
Set in the stunning Holme Valley on the edge of the Peak District, and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, this vibrant studio complex is home to a wealth of artistic talent and experienced creative practicioners.
Join me in studio-based classes that cater to both beginners and advanced students. Develop your skills, and discover new techniques to help you create more dynamic and expressive art.
Learn fundamentals such as armature building, accurate scaling, points of reference, design, anatomy, and various surface finishes. You also have the opportunity to explore and experiment sculpting with different materials, all under expert guidance.
All you need to embark on this creative journey is your enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
Courses are informal and relaxed, so anyone - no matter what level of experience - will enjoy them. Early booking is recommended. My studio-based workshops are limited to a maximum of 4 students and can become fully booked quickly. If you'd like to be added to the waiting list for new workshop dates,
Create your own bronze sculpture in a weekend
Join sculptor Damon Price in his studio and make your own bronze sculpture from start to finish in this hands-on 2-day workshop.
Over the weekend Damon will guide you through the entire bronze casting process: from wax modelling, to the thrill of pouring molten bronze, right through to patinating and finishing your final piece.
You'll sculpt a small form in wax (some soft modelling wax will be posted to you so you can sculpt at leisure in your own home) - what you create is entirely up to you:
Don't panic here are a few suggestions: a figurative or wildlife subject, a child or pet portrait, or maybe your names on a plaque... the possibilities are endless as well as a little help if needed.
You'll then cast it in bronze using traditional techniques, and finish it by hand - no prior experience needed.
