The goal of the Vaugel Sculpture Studio is to share the sculpting techniques we have found necessary for each student to access and use the creative inspiration that lives in each of us.

Using techniques that are based on geometry, anatomy, and structure, all the classes are taught in three parts.

• First to understand the anatomy and proportions of the figure and skull, using lectures and demonstrations.
• Second, to see the relationships geometrically between the boney landmarks and the totality of the figure. Working from from the inside / out.
• Third, to do, sculpting the clay figure or portrait using the above information and proven clay modeling techniques.

Instruction is for all levels. We seek highly motivated students who are hungry for basic knowledge. We provide as many opportunities as possible for maximum learning based on individual motivation and proven group dynamics. The teaching approach is based on a profound geometric and anatomical analysis of the figure. It emphasizes boney landmarks, the weighting of planes in the creation of forms, the skull and direct observation. .

These classes have been a great service to many portrait painters as well as sculptors. They enhance the knowledge of the placement of information necessary for the creation of any good portrait, as well as teaching the geometric methods used "to see" more clearly. These techniques are of great service for those wishing to draw or paint, and add structure to all forms of the recreation of the portrait or figure.
