    Philippe Faraut's seminars include lectures on anatomy, emphasizing bone structure and discussions on expression, ethnic differences and body language.  Three days of intensive work are spent sculpting in water based clay, (not oil clay), doing exercises  modeling the head with step by step instruction.   

    Individuals receive one on one instruction.  Study from models and numerous exercises are used to assist students in understanding intricacies of modeling the human face. Previous students range from beginners to professional artists.  Though participants are welcome to keep any projects worked on during the seminar, Philippe's goal is not to instruct on how to complete a single finished piece, but rather to provide students the opportunity to experiment on numerous small studies.  Class time runs from 9am to 4pm each day with a break for lunch. 

"I have been using and promoting Laguna Clay for the past 15 years for the simple reason that it is, in my opinion, the best product available for portraiture and figure modeling.  Generally I use Laguna Miller #10, EM100 and Laguna #90 as featured in my YouTube videos."    Philippe Faraut

Mud Puddle Pottery Studio is a distributor for Laguna Clay Products, and proudly stocks Laguna Miller #10 clay and is the preferred clay of sculptors, schools and teachers.  It is talc free, which makes it the best choice for a low fire (white) clay body.   615-646-6644 to order. info@mudpuddlepottery.com
