In the heart of Devon

Our studio is situated in the idyllic county of Devon within easy reach of the spectacular scenery of Dartmoor National Park and the Devonshire coast.

Transform the way you work

Unique to The Sculpture School are the methods of Dynamic and Energy Curves (DEC). Specifically designed by Andrew Sinclair ARBS. Whatever your ability, these straightforward methods give you the means to overcome the most difficult aspects of true and decisive figurative sculpture – the ability to truly represent human form.

All courses include a proven way to easily apply clay, so that it flows with the form. This enables accuracy, whilst keeping your work flexible and adaptable. It avoids the classic trap of knowing part of your sculpture is wrong yet feeling emotionally bound by the effort to change it.

These techniques and methods are core elements in The Sculpture School’s courses
