Ceramic Sculpture: Making Faces: A Guide to Modeling the Head and Face with Clay

By Alexander Irvine

Book Overview

Sculpting the human face presents a unique artistic challenge--but this richly illustrated guide thoroughly demystifies the process.

Instructor Alex Irvine goes step-by-step, explaining everything from creating basic, rough outlines to surface refinements to finely detailed replicas. Photographs of models and sketches appear alongside the actual sculpture, and a gallery of contemporary work inspires.
