My Sculpture Class

Chris learned a great way to improve her sculptures last weekend, and she shared it with everyone in the workshop.  You see, she was taking the course for the second time because whe sculpure she made the first time shattered in her suitcase.  She enjoyed the course so much, and she wanted to do the sculpture again, so she figured she come back.  The second sculpture she made was so much better than the first.  After leaving the technique and using it once, she had a better handle on how to create the feeling that she wanted in the piece.  The first piece was nice, the second one was really, really lovely.

I sculpt pieces over and over again.  I take the aspects that I like from each previous piece into the next one.  It was so clear in Chris' work, and it is a great reminder to me to tell my students.  Do it over and over again.
