Sitting Horse: Foundations of Sculptural Form

Join internationally renowned equine sculptor Alexandra Shorey as she shares her sculptural processes in this introductory course in mixed-media sculpture. Known for her distinctive horse sculptures and collaborations with leading interior designers, Alexandra guides you through a small sitting horse sculpture using simple tools and accessible materials. You’ll explore how ideas of line, gesture, and movement can bring quiet expression into the simplest of forms. Step by step, you’ll create the inner structure, build thin layers, and refine contours in a relaxed, enjoyable process suitable for complete beginners and returning artists alike. You’ll also learn practical tips for finishing, photographing, and safely packing your sculpture, with an optional project if you’d like to take your sculpting skills a step further. At the end of the course, you will have a beautiful, timeless sculptural piece that aligns with interior design trends, and a grounding in equine sculptural language. A warm, encouraging, and beautifully accessible way to begin working with sculptural form.
