Large-scale figure – Hollow construction technique

In one week, participants will learn how to create an approximately 1-meter-tall figure using the hollow construction technique. The course covers the entire creative process: from the initial idea (sketches, reference images) to material preparation and building a support model, through to the construction stages of the figure.

Special attention will be given to statics and proportions, with practical guidance on shaping feet, hands, and the face. Texture, surface treatment, and possible coloring of the sculpture will also be explored.

The course takes place over the full day, with a lunch break from 12:30 to 13:30.

Course language: German with simultaneous translation
