Amazing Sculpture Workshop
with E.J. Gold
Saturday, April 4th
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Prod.ID: sculp040409
Registration: $15.00
E.J. Gold demonstrates how to make your own armature for sculpting in this free YouTube video.
The techniques in this BEGINNING SCULPTURE WORKSHOP are from the American Academy at Rome and Otis Art Institute as taught originally by Renzo Fenci, one of the greatest sculptors of all time, and will be personally conducted by E.J. Gold, an Otis Alumnus.

If you plan to attend IN PERSON you MUST register soon. Call 530-271-2239 to register and for directions to the E.J. Gold art studio. Space is strictly limited and this is a very popular workshop. Whether you attend in person or online you will need the following equipment and supplies:

1. THE SCULPTURE TOOL. This is the Sculpture House 403A sculpture tool. That is the ONLY sculpture tool you will ever need. If you cannot get one by the time of the workshop, you may use any tool you like -- you can get tools at any ceramic supply store or craft store, or use a tongue depressor or ice cream stick for the time being.

2. ROMA PLASTILINA GREY-GREEN #2. You will typically want at least 8- 12 bricks of this. They weigh 2 pounds apiece. If you work in a group, you can order this by the case and save in shipping somewhat, but they are on the heavy side. Your Roma Plastilina will last a lifetime. Ordinary clay will not. If you must "make do", then use ordinary pottery clay, the stuff they call "CHANGE-OVER" which is a mixture of clays when they change clay in the mixing machine. It should be cheap. The downside is that it dries out. How to keep it moist will be discussed in the workshop class for online attendees.

3. HOMEMADE ARMATURE. For details on how to construct this out of ordinary household materials see the YouTube video by E.J. Gold above.

To register for the workshop at the E.J. Gold art studio, please call 530-271-2239.

Come join E.J. Gold for his very favorite fine artform, Sculpture. Gold has enjoyed sculpture over the last four decades, having studied at Otis Art Institute with Russell Cangialosi and Renzo Fenci.

Asked for a comment on the workshop, Gold said, "I paid thousands for this skill, and it was worth every penny. With sculpture, I was able to master drawing -- because I learned to see not only 'the other side' of what I'm drawing or painting, but what's actually inside it, the essential masses and reflected light that make up an object's artistic identity."
