Learn Sculpture with Bruckner!

Pop-Sculpture co-author Tim Bruckner is teaching a class through TLC Workshops!
Expressive Sculpture and Maquettes with Tim Bruckner

Fri-Sun, May 8-10

$580 (includes materials fee)

Renowned sculptor, Tim Bruckner shares the process of creating a 1/2 life size portrait focusing on character and expression - ideal for illustrators, animators and sculptors alike. This workshop is sponsored in part by the Chavant Clay Company, providing clay, tools and supplies.

Day #1 will cover building a reliable armature, handling clay, and getting the basic structure of the head established.

Day #2 covers sculpting techniques, tool manipulation, creating form, shaping and imbuing the character with feeling. We will focus on telling your character's story by sculpting a defined, readable expression.

On Day #3 clay work will be completed. We will discuss molding and casting methods for expanded projects. We'll photograph our completed sculpture under different lighting conditions and angles and then translate this information to sketches using our maquettes.

Experience level: all.

Medium: Chavant clay.

Limit: 14 students.

From the Tim Bruckner Shop: Santa Claus is Comin' to Town!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and Pop Sculpture co-author Tim Bruckner has just made it look a lot more Christmas-y. After years of planning and noodling, Tim has finally lived up to his promise and completed his bust of Santa Claus! Measuring 11 inches tall with its simple pedestal base, this portrait of the big guy will be hand-cast in an edition of ten, hand-painted in muted tones, and signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity. Check out the in-progress video below, and order your completed piece today!

Check out the step-by-step evolution of the sculpt that would become Santa Claus!

It's Ludwig Van!

Tim has proven time and time again that he is a master of the fantastic. But he's also a master of the naturalistic, as anyone who's seen his portraits can attest. One of his portraits, "Ode to Joy" -- his rendering of a laughing Ludwig Van Beethoven -- has been offered as a limited edition, but it is now available in model kit form, and much smaller, to boot. Standing only 5.75 inches tall with its base, this new kit is now available over in the Tim Bruckner Shop (www.timbrucknershop.com), and at $50 is an affordable way to show your love of the composer (or the movie "A Clockwork Orange").
