Service Description

Over two days you will sculpt the portrait from the live model, 10.00am to 4pm with a break for lunch. This course is suitable for anyone with any proficiency in sculpting, but who would like to identify the portrait in tactile 3 dimension. This course is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those who have sculpted before and with us. The workshop is intentionally designed over two days, to allow the student to not feel rushed and to really engage, feel immersed, and come away with a sense of really having learned a skill by the second day. Being born and raised amongst the beautiful rolling hills of Scotland’s Perthshire granted Hector a special appreciation of the shapes and forms of nature. This developed into an enduring love of art and especially of painting and sculpture. His desire to develop his art led him to the home of renaissance art, Florence Italy, and to the traditional atelier of Charles H Cecil studios, where he studied painting and sculpture. Hector’s sculptures offer a unique insight, blending natural and abstract forms. He seeks to explore the spaces beyond the rational, illuminating the unconscious worlds within our human condition. He sculpts in the traditional material of clay, which is then cast in either bronze or bronze resin. All materials provided by The Edinburgh Drawing School
