- Use modelling tools to construct the features.
- Create surface details: hair, skin etc.

Teacher is Ben Swift
Ben is a ceramic artist and ceramics teacher based in Dulwich. His work explores both figurative, geometric and organic subjects with emphasis on process: construction, throwing, casting and fabrication, thus creating rhythms, textures and forms. These are expressed through the treatment of a variety of media. Most often he employs ceramics but he also combines constructed metals and found objects. Recent work has begun to compose disparate elements as assemblages.
Cost is £150, Concessions £75
The concession ticket is for those who would not be able to attend at the full price due to financial considerations.
