Learn the art of sculpting the human form in this weekly workshop led by experienced sculptor Alexandra Slava. Designed for all skill levels, this course takes place once a week on Tuesday evenings at the Berlin Sculpture Atelier, offering a convenient schedule that allows you to build your skills steadily over time.

In this hands-on workshop, you will work from a live model and choose to sculpt either a 1/3 life-size full figure or a 3/4 scale torso in clay. With clear guidance, demonstrations, and personalized feedback, you will develop a strong understanding of proportions, anatomy, and gesture, and learn how to bring life and movement into your sculpture.

The workshop is structured to support consistent progress each week, making it easy to balance with work or studies while still receiving in-depth training. Alexandra Slava’s teaching approach breaks down complex forms into clear, practical steps, helping you build confidence and improve with every session.

With a small group setting and individual attention, the course is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists looking to deepen their figurative sculpting skills.

Upon completion, clay sculptures can be preserved through firing or casting at an additional cost. Learn more about our Mold-Making & Casting Courses.

Don’t miss the opportunity to develop your sculpting skills in a focused and supportive weekly format.
