You can start this course at your convenience. The lesson plan will be customized as per your grasping capacity and learning objectives. During the free meeting, the teacher will share the list materials you have to buy. Once you have those we can start!

We suggest a size of around 8 inches. You will be guided on how to decide the scale of your sculpture.

We do not provide the materials for this course. You can get it from Amazon, Blick, Skillsupplies (India) and other e-commerce platforms.

Here are some things that you will need: 1. Super Sculpey polymer clay. 2. Basic dental tools (the teacher can provide these if needed - Indian students only) 3. Ball stylus tools (the teacher can provide these if needed - Indian students only. These can be bought from cake supply stores or Amazon.) 4. A surface that will not leach out the oils out of the polymer clay. A rubber top or a plastic surface. 5. Aluminum foil or 2-part epoxy glue (m-seal, r-seal, etc). This will be used to bulk up the piece. 6. Metal binding wire and cutting pliers. Optional items: 1. A pair of gloves for mixing up the 2-part epoxy glue. 2. A table lamp/reading lamp. 3. A convection oven. If you choose to bake your piece. 4. Surgical spirit. Used to clean your hands.

If Super Sculpey is not baked, then it can be reused. We do not cover baking in this course. The standard baking instructions will be on the packaging of the clay. We recommend that you reuse the clay until you are confident of your work.

The aim of this series is to learn how to sculpt a complete human figurine. The next step would be to challenge yourself and make different characters with the principles from this class!

A life size figure depending on the detailing can take months or years. What we are trying to achieve through this course are small models, in the size of 8 inches. We emphasize that this is aimed to go at your own pace! Experienced miniature sculptors dedicate around 400 working hours or more to make 1 character sculpture!

Approximately one hour a week should be fine for the online class, for beginners. Students should practice at home the techniques taught in the class. Practice makes one better.

Yes, students will get the drawings or images to refer to during the classes. Students will also get detailed feedback through images and video.

For the purpose of this course we will stick to super sculpey clay. It is more user friendly and is best suited for learning, as it can be reused if not baked.

Painting can only be done after the clay has been baked. Since we will not bake the super sculpey clay, we will not cover painting.

Students will be assessed on a weekly basis on the progress they make on the model sculpture. They will get feedback for improvements. There is no provision for certificates at the end of this course.
