Traditional clay modelling techniques - sculpture classes
In these lessons / course I will introduce you to the basics of traditional clay modelling. Starting from understanding proportions, measuring 3-dimensional objects and building a strong armature using wood and wire to carefully examining and transferring the shapes of the model into your own clay reproduction.
Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodin have been studying the sculptures of their predecessors the same way and have been a great influence on my own work, and that is why I want to pass this knowledge on.
In these lessons, you will also acquire some knowledge of the use of power-tools necessary to make the armatures.

About Me
I am a contemporary artist having studied traditional, academic and anatomic clay modelling for six years and spent more than fourteen years studying fine art overall (drawing in pencil and charcoal, oil painting, sculpting, stone and wood carving, etc.). I hold a MFA from The University of Edinburgh (2019) and BA from The Art Academy of Latvia (2017). Throughout the years of developing my sculpting technique I have worked in different materials, including, clay, plaster, foam, polyester resin/ fibreglass, wood, metal, stone, fabrics, etc. I have extensive knowledge of mould making and bronze casting. Most of the moulds I make are made of silicon and plaster, for larger projects, I use fibreglass.My artistic work consists of a diverse range of contemporary contexts relating to the human body. Through the chosen medium I emphasize the motion - how the human body portrays what impact’s it within the pose, whether it is environmental or emotional footprint. I am interested in the aftermath of those factors on the sculptural body while it is in process of modelling in clay and the emotional affluence when finished.
I have always found traditional composition and modelling in clay, stone, and wood satisfying to my intellectual curiosity and providing a meaningful methodological foundation. Although, I also find myself continually interested in interdisciplinary projects, work in different mediums and materials that are not particularly traditional for sculpting.
The material I choose for each project becomes an important part of the work supporting and highlighting the idea.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.
I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.
I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.
In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.
You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.
Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.
Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.
The objective of this training is to be able to:
- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity
(...)
Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.
These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Visual Arts: Practice, Theory, and Cultural ContextsThis visual arts class offers students a structured introduction to both the practice and theory of art. Through hands-on activities such as drawing, painting, and working with mixed media, students will develop their technical skills and creativity. At the same time, they will explore important art movements, styles, and artists from different cultures and historical periods.
The course encourages students to think critically about what art means, how it is created, and how it reflects the world around us. Lessons include discussions, visual analysis, and short readings to help students understand how art connects to ideas like identity, culture, and history.
Students are guided to express their own thoughts and experiences through their artwork, while also learning to describe and reflect on the work of others. By the end of the course, they will have built a small portfolio and gained greater confidence in both making and understanding visual art.
The class can be conducted in English or French.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic languageI am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.
Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!
Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.
The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.
(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)
Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)
