Our final four-week live online intensive of 2026 is here, an immersive experience in figurative ceramics led by Cristina Córdova. This program brings together an exceptional group of internationally recognized artists, each offering intimate, practical approaches to constructing, understanding, and presenting sculpture, while guiding you toward a deeper, more personal command of your own work.

Cristina Córdova guides you through her slab-based method for constructing the human figure, focusing on proportion, movement, and foundational surface strategies. Assis Filho expands this work through anatomy, helping you understand and refine key structures such as the head and hands. Beth Cavener guides you through gesture, tension, and how to build emotionally charged sculptures. Malene Hartmann Rasmussen shares how to create narrative sculptures rooted in personal mythology.

Carolein Smit demonstrates how to develop expressive compositions through texture and layering over hollow forms. Susan Halls shares her fast slab-building technique to create dynamic, energetic forms. Kukuli Velarde reflects on how personal history, cultural memory, and resilience inform the making of sculpture. Brady Connelly shows how to photograph your sculptures with clarity and intention, using lighting, composition, and simple editing techniques to create professional images that accurately represent your work.

All sessions are live and interactive, giving you the opportunity to learn directly from each artist and ask questions in real time. This course offers practical tools you can apply immediately, while helping you develop a stronger and more intentional sculptural practice.
