Online CourseModel-Making Techniques Course Online
£250.00A 5-day intensive, practical course covering model-making skills for theatre, film, animation or spatial design. Led by David Neat from his studio in Deptford, London. Next course dates in 2022: February 28–March 4, April 25–29, June 20-24.
David’s emphasis in these workshops is on accessible techniques of building, modelling/shaping, surfacing and finishing relevant to artists, designers and makers in various disciplines. All is as live and as ‘actual’ as possible, with minimal recorded content. There is a focus on ‘realism’ in representation, geared more to theatre and film work, but the aim in keeping the course solidly materials-based is to provide just as much of relevance to model-making for other disciplines such as interior design. The cost per person will be £250, and the group size will be limited to 10.
