MODELING/SCULPTURE

We will seek to experience the subtlety of the contraction and expansion of a form.

The work will always be focused on the volume of a material. How does this volume alternate between contraction and expansion? The passage between these two movements constitutes an archetype present everywhere around us. The main research approach of these workshops is to understand and try to master this gesture in order to make the volume “alive”. The workshop will be articulated between a work in the non-figurative (an emotion or a color for example) and a work in the figurative (representative sculpture).

L’atelier se déroule de septembre à juin. Le règlement peut être effectué trimestriellement sur demande. Engagement à l’année.
