Sculpture in clay has been a part of my life since attending a weekend course in 2016. I became hooked! With a long career in the NHS the human body is well known to me and this helped with sculpting the figure. Usually I work from life models with Karin Ort at the Phoenix Studio, Towersey near Thame , Oxfordshire with weekly term-time classes. When life changed (2020/21) and studio visits were impossible, more stylised human in hard-to-adopt postures started to appeal. There is much to learn and enjoy in the techniques and process.
Summer courses at the Art Academy in London with Jessica Wetherly in 2018 & 2019 have given different experiences as well as the Sculpture School. I now have a sculpting 'shed' and can play happily in there. Having been told to 'give up' Art at school - all this creativity is a continual surprise!
