About this Event

The human figure is a classic source of inspiration for many, but may be challenging to approach in clay for the first time. Hosted by DAC Resident Artist Diane Sung, this free workshop will introduce participants to the process of blocking out and compressing a proportional body without armature, as well as sculpting techniques for finer details. Participants will play with proportions, with a focus on how to create a believable sense of weight and gesture. Must be 18+ to participate. All abilities welcome! Having a sketch or pose in mind beforehand is encouraged but not required.

Registration is required.
About The Artist: Diane Sung is a ceramic artist currently based in Austin, TX. She earned her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, MO. Her work is driven by the complexities of the human experience with language and she seeks to explore these narratives in her sculptures. Though her practice is primarily based in ceramic sculpture, she also works through drawing, printmaking, and claymation. Having grown up in a bilingual environment, learning about other languages is her greatest passion outside of the visual arts.
