Francis Byng reviewed: Portrait sculpture in clay

"Luke Shepherd is an experienced sculptor and tutor who puts tremendous energy into this fairly intensive 4-day course. Covers all aspects of the sculpting of a portrait head from a model. Supportive and friendly atmosphere, excellent facilities and first-class tuition. Recommended"

Luke Shepherd responded:

"Thanks for your kind review. It was a pleasure to have you in the course a second time and to see your noticeable improvement. Yes you’re right it is quite intensive, yet I hope this adds to the learning environment and helps you get the most from the 4 days. "

Lisa Robinson reviewed: Portrait sculpture in clay

"I thoroughly enjoyed the most incredible week of sculpture. Not only is Luke an absolute master of his craft, but he is also a skilled teacher, sharing his methods and knowledge. I have come away with so much more confidence in myself and my work. I will definitely be back for more!"

Luke Shepherd responded:

"Thanks Lisa Thanks for you feedback. Making a portrait in clay is not a straightforward thing and you did so well. I’ll be in touch when your head is fired. All best Luke"

Sarah Hobley Sculpture reviewed: Portrait sculpture in clay

"Having taken a course with Luke five years ago and working as a sculptor, I am still using his techniques and reverting to his problem solving tips - it's simple when an expert who knows how shares it! Luke later mentored me through a complex commissioned portrait, I achieved it and feel I could again. He's a very experienced, straightforward and patient tutor."

Luke Shepherd responded:

"Hi Sarah So pleased to hear your sculpture commission worked out well and that it's given you confidence and tools to tackle another. All very best Luke"

Malik reviewed: Portrait sculpture in clay

"I cannot recommend this course enough. The opportunity to take time, observe and develop techniques was fantastic. Most importantly, Luke’s wealth of experience, with a talent for sculpture and teaching, shone through along the journey. Learning to see, to develop your work and yourself cannot be underestimated. I will return!"

Luke Shepherd responded:

"Thanks Malik. I look forward to seeing you again."
