We’ll be sculpting a mini figurine of a nude model, you’ll be taught the basics of sculpture, starting off with life drawing and building clay on a wire armature, moving onto detailing your sculpture and finishing off with smoothing your sculpture. 

We also provide extensive aftercare instructions which will help you dry and preserve your sculpture in the best way possible as well as a history of sculpture visual essay emailed to you after the workshop.

INSTRUCTOR

Our sculpture instructor Adam (he/him) is a queer male artist that creates installations based on Greek and Roman mythology to explore themes of homoeroticism, power dynamics and voyeurism. Adam’s practice uses a multidisciplinary approach, he employs craft techniques like sewing, weaving, sculpting as well as painted designs and furniture construction. He uses a stylistic approach by using three tones, red, yellow and black, to illustrate the tones of the body with the aim to fatten and define his sculptures.

If you would like to have a look at Adam’s work, please visit his instagram page by clicking here.

WHO ARE WE?

Red Art Club was founded in April 2022 as a socialist art club.

Why ‘Red’ Art Club? Because of the socialist red… duh…

We create a space for absolutely anyone to explore and develop their artistic practice. Our classes are priced below the threshold of any other art class in London while still giving access to professional instructors and the best art materials. We also exclusively host our classes in arts institutions to help contribute to building the art community around London. 

London is a lonely place and being an artist can be even lonelier. Red Art Club was set up to create a community that empowers each other to create beautiful art and a more beautiful, friendly, inclusive, welcoming future for society. 

On top of sculpture workshops we run weekly life drawing classes and monthly lino printing classes at the Omnibus Theatre, Clapham Common as well as monthly pop up art gallery socials. 

Follow us on instagram @redartclub_ to keep up to date with our upcoming classes, we also anticipate on starting art gallery meet ups for anyone who doesn’t have someone to go to an art gallery with.
