STATE-APPROVED
SCULPTOR
Our training course to become a state-approved sculptor can be completed full-time or part-time and forms the basis of a realistic, figurative sculptor.
In this full-time training course we teach you the art techniques, which means you learn the most important basics of realistic drawing and modelling with clay so that you can later develop your own style. The success of our teaching programme mainly relates to the organised and clear structure. Each piece of work builds on the previous one. This way you deepen what you have learned and progress step by step.
Therefore, anyone can start, even without prior knowledge.
In addition to the basics of craftsmanship, you will also find many additional teaching modules such as anatomy, material science, art history and art business. Because our greatest concern is to make you fit for your dream job and give you opportunities to earn money in the art world.
