guy williams reviewed: Clay Modelling - Sculpting the figure in clay

"This course is useful for sculptors of all abilities and experience. The model is viewed from all sides and the tutor provides guidance on approach without being overly structured, and, as in all art, one is constantly encouraged to look and look again. The tuition is encouraging and skillful, and the tutor has a good understanding of anatomy. The studio is well equipped has good natural light. It is encouraging to be working alongside others in a small group, who are supportive but not afraid to be critical."

Mary Keady reviewed: Clay modelling - sculpt a portrait head

"I spent a very enjoyable 3 days at the Sculpture Place. It was well organised by Sally and I met a lot of very interesting people. Miranda is an excellent teacher, very patient and encouraging. Highly recommended. It was a belated birthday present and one of the best ever!"

Grant Emery reviewed: Clay modelling - sculpt a classical portrait

"I haven’t done any clay work since my school days nearly 40 years ago and so was a bit unsure of what to expect. However, Sally instantly made me feel very welcome and Miranda took an effective step by step approach for those of us with little or no experience. Likewise, those with far greater experience were given minimal but timely intervention if it was required and additional little tips to take things to a higher level. All done in lovely surroundings and with a great model in Shanice, I really enjoyed all three days and ended up with a special piece of artwork. The number of people returning is a testament to everything that the courses provide and I would love to attend another in the future."

Mike White reviewed: Clay modelling - sculpt a portrait head

"I thoroughly recommend the courses here and Miranda as tutor. In March 2018 we did a six-week one-morning-a-week life sculpting course and were both delighted with our progress, the instruction and model. The three-hour session was split into two: in the first we made a new model from scratch and in the second we worked on the same model, producing figures we are happy to display. I've just completed a six-week portrait head course that was a similar excellent experience. This time we built a single full-size head, adjusting and improving in each session until a good likeness was achieved. Miranda encourages students to look, and rotates the model frequently to give the different viewpoints necessary to see the whole form. I've adopted the building processes into my own practice; I've learned a lot and look forward to more courses next year."
