Classes
Introduction to Sculpture (Ages 15-18)
“Sculpture” means so many things! Ceramic pots, stuffed bears or clumps of painted paper. In this course, we’ll explore all the ways to create 3D work, big or small! Techniques may include clay hand-building, sewing/quilting and light woodworking (little carvings, whittling) along with drawing + painting.

About the Instructor
Sam Christian
Focusing in multiple mediums, Sam’s primary forms are Linocut printmaking, Fiber Arts (sewing and quilting) and Comic Art. Sam is a native of Richmond’s East End who has worked to craft a practice around the beauty and inequities found in the East End and communities like it. Through eco-conscious printmaking that highlights the deep history of the East End community and artistic partnerships
in schools and community spaces, Sam has been instrumental in cultivating light and love in the spaces they call home. Being no stranger to the obstacles facing students of the East End, both academic and social, Sam looks for any opportunity to shift the narrative and make space for young artists.
