Award-winning sculptor Sue Chism will teach a five-day workshop on sculpting the horse at beautiful Foxglove Farm in Lyme. Students will work from a live, classic Percheron draft horse for 6 hours each day, allowing for plenty of time to complete a 12" to 24" sculpture. Other equine breeds and their differences will be discussed as well as some comparative animal and human anatomy. Emphasis will be placed on character, gesture, anatomy, and structure as well as basic principles of sculpting. All levels are welcome and a materials list will be provided before the workshop. Call for more details!

Dates: Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm, August 30–September 3

Fees: $495 for Members registered by August 23, $545 for nonmembers and late registrations
