Chuck


Terra-cotta, 20"H x 11"W x 10"D 
At one time I taught portrait and figure sculpture. I would hire a model and demonstrate a basic method of construction using clay on an armature. Working from the model, and with numerous critiques from me, the students developed their own sculptures. Sometimes I would complete the demonstration piece, fire it, and apply a patina. Chuck is one of these.
