“Feather”

It’s always fun when I get a new bronze from the foundry for the first time!  I’ve just received “Feather” and it’s wonderful to see how he turned out.  He’s 9″ long x 8″ high x 3 3/4″ wide including the turned head and flying mane.


As you can see, he’s available in both bay and silver.  He was intended to be a Pegasus, but after cutting him apart four times to try various armatures for the wings, I decided any wings I put on him would vibrate too much in shipping and damage the horse.  I had one bronze sent to me with no patina on it so I can make wings to fit it and mark where they go on the bronze.   Hopefully doing it that way will work!

Sculpting Workshop with Lynda Sappington

May 21-23, 2010, 9AM to 5 PM, $250 for the 3 day workshop at Marienthal Country Inn in Eden NY (near Buffalo), a Bed and Breakfast that’s offering a 30% off any room for students. Rooms start at $30/night. The workshop will be held in a converted church that’s on the property. For details, see www.MarienthalCountryInn.com

When you get to that site, click on the “workshops” link at the top. The info on my class isn’t on there yet, but should be by Monday Oct. 26. However, the application will work with or without my class info being on the page, so feel free to go ahead and sign up!  Class size is limited to 15.

In the workshop, we’ll cover building armatures, measuring the subject (horses, but the same principal applies to other subjects), how to work with clay and building the sculpture. I will discuss mold-making and casting resin and bronze, but there won’t be time in this class to do any mold-making or casting.

If you want to get a head start on the class, order my book, “Sculpting 101: A Primer for the Self-taught Artist” by contacting me at Lynda@TheSculptedHorse.com.

I hope to see you there!
