A new six-week session in life sculpture is starting on February 7 at River Arts Studio, 241 U.S. Route 1 in Damariscotta. The sessions will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursdays. The cost is $120. Participants will work, without instruction, from a long-term pose over a six week period. There are no formal critiques, but participants are free to ask other members or the monitor for help or advice whenever needed.

Everyone is encouraged to bring their own tools, armatures, and their preferred sculpting medium. Most participants use water based clay (self hardening or firing), or oil based clay (plasticine, plastilina), and some prefer wax. There are some tools and supplies available to borrow until you can get your own, but the selection is limited.

River Arts also offers open studios in life drawing and ceramics – times are listed on the website www.riverartsme.org For more information, email info@riverartsme.org or call 207-563-1507.
