Come join me for a weekend of life modelling, for this workshop we have a female or male model, the armature will be ready-made so that you can concentrate on sculpting!

You can decide to produce a 1/3 life size model or copy the model's torso and scale it down to half size. The focus of the class will be anatomy and proportions. We will work on understanding the underlying structure of the anatomy I will draw the muscles on the model so that the human body can be clear to us. We will work on understanding…

I had a real blast at the weekend life modelling class with Livia Turco from the Figurative Sculpture School. She is an absolute talented and inspiring teacher and I have learnt a lot with her. Her attention to details is impecable and I would definitely recommend Livia's classes.

Absolutely fantastic workshop. Livia is an amazing sculptor and passionate about teaching and ensuring that everyone gets the most out of the two days. She picks students up at the level they are at and since the classes are small, she is able to give lots of one-to-one attention to every student. Livia is also an incredibly likeable person, who creates a fun and focused learning environment. I loved every minute of the workshop and can't wait to do more classes with her!!

This is such a fantastic weekend course !! It was super intense and I learnt a hell of a lot, nothing beats sculpting from a live model and producing a fresh sketch of their figure. I walked away with a terracotta torso which I've hollowed out and is now ready to be fired in the kiln,. Such a unique piece of work!

As a returner to life modelling after a long break,this was a perfect class to re connect. Livia is a great teacher,knowledgeable, direct and encouraging. The class was small so each student got plenty of attention during 2 days. It was an intensive and productive course that I would recommend to anyone wishing to study the figure in more depth. Really looking forward to future courses that I plan to attend.
