Fall Classes at JHess Studios

Registration is open for the Fall set of classes at JHess Studios in San Francisco. I’ll be offering Portrait Sculpture on Tuesday evenings , and Gesture Sketch in Clay on Saturday afternoons. Both classes are suitable for all levels.

In Portrait Sculpture, we’ll work from life, honing observation skills. The portrait will be modeled in water-based clay at life scale. If you’re new to JHess Studios, this class is an excellent introduction to our clay modeling methods or as a continuing practice for experienced students. Each new model provides a unique challenge.

The Gesture Sketch in Clay class focuses on important concepts of gesture and proportion in studying the figure. We’ll work at an 18” scale on wire armatures, also studying from life. The pose will change every 2 weeks, for a total of 4 poses that we’ll study during the class. The concepts covered are useful for sculptors and 2D artists alike.

Hope you can join us in the new academic year at JHess Studios. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions about the classes.
