Don Lanning's 5-day workshop lead artists in the creation of a personal work of art, guided by this renowned Hollywood sculptor with 25+ Years of experience in the field.

This 5-day course in creature design used WED clay. Students were provided with a female or male hollow form to build over. All students sculpted a creature bust of their own design, as Don shared sculpture techniques & tool use gathered over 25 years of sculpting for film & television. In this unique event, the beginner or professional in attendance wrapped up the class on Friday by taking home their 1:1 scale full character/creature bust. The 40 hour plus class was focused on sculpture and bringing the character to life. Our Lab provided a black backdrop and took photographs of each student with their work for their portfolio.
