Patient and supportive

I had an incredible experience at Sculpt Monkey’s sculpture class. The instructor was not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and supportive. He provided thorough guidance and encouragement throughout the course, helping me to develop my sculpting techniques and unleash my creativity. The atmosphere was inspiring, and I felt truly immersed in the world of sculpture. Thanks to Sculpt Monkey, I not only learned valuable skills but also gained a newfound passion for sculpting. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to explore their artistic talents in a fun and welcoming environment.

I’ve benefited immensely, from clay modelling classes at Sculpt Monkey. The instructor has in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and is an expert w.r.t intricate details like muscle flow and bone structure.

Barney, no not Barney Stinson! But he is just as funny and legen-wait-for-it-darrry!!! He is extremely patient while teaching and will sit and listen to your stories while you strive to complete your “masterpiece”.

Sculpting People/Animals Class – Polymer Clay (Online)

This class is taught online, 1-on-1, as there is no need for a dedicated space as with natural clay. You can learn how to sculpt at home! It is easy to reschedule or extend the number of classes to learn more. The class can go as detailed as you want it to be. That’s why this class is on a learn-as-you-go model.
Sculpture size: 3 to 8 inches

Why Polymer Clay?
Sculpting miniatures requires a specialized clay like Super Sculpey. This clay medium can help you put in a lot of detail into miniatures, dolls, etc. In this class you will learn basic human/animal form, armature building, blocking, setting poses building custom tools and extra anatomical/cloth details. I’ve written a blog post on this medium.

Prerequisites:
This course is for those who don’t even know how to draw!
Sculpting Medium: Super Sculpey Polymer Clay (or Oil based clay, if you need)

Human sculpture

Mr. Barney was my tutor when I signed up for this course, he was very patient and dedicated in my sessions even though I was taking longer time to learn.

My tutor will provide guidance and support whenever required as long I’m able to deliver the desirable outcome. I strongly recommend others to enroll with Mr. Barney as this art is definitely is a worth to learn and highly potential for people to start own entrepreneurship.

Sculpture workshop….an insight to a beginner

Workshop on sculpture walked me through a different dimension to pottery involving different approach than what I knew about pottery as a basic student. It was interesting, little difficult to understand fully and follow the concepts immediately within the limited time. But the icing was the final technique he taught us which was real shocker and surprise 🫢. Mr.Barney with his gentle and patient teaching made it very interesting and memorable for me. On the whole it was a useful, informative and interesting five hours🙏. Thank you Mr Barney for a wonderful session and thank you Ms.Swathy for organizing this workshop..

I had an amazing time

I had an amazing time learning the basics of sculpting with Barney.
He is a very patient teacher and will see to it that you learn it the correct way.
I always thought one needs to be good at sketching before you attempt sculpture but this begineer class helped me to learn techniques that will now give me more confidence.

Thanks Sculptmonkey for coming up with this course. Looking forward to more in the future!
