Creating Clay Sculpture with Mary E. Adams – Fall Class 2025
5 weeks
Wednesdays, 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM | October 15, 22, 29, November 5 and 12
Location: Washington Art Association’s General Studio
Using clay to create sculpture is a way to explore three dimensions with one’s fingertips. Whether working from a live model, a plaster cast, or one’s imagination, the hand and eye internalize knowledge about proportion, relationship, gesture, and anatomy. Members of the class are free to discover their own interpretation of the subject. We work in water-based clay. A model will be provided. The instructor will work with each student individually.
Mary E. Adams works in various media including clay, bronze, oil, watercolor and pastel. She began her study of art in Paris in 1972. Returning home to Savannah in the mid’70s, she studied oil painting with noted Georgia artist, Augusta Oelschig. She moved to New York in 1981 and for three and a half years studied drawing and painting at The Art Student’s League where she is a life member. During that time, she was involved in several Off Broadway theatre projects.
Since the ‘90s, she has created sculptures in clay and limited edition bronzes. She has participated in numerous invitational showings. Her work is in private collections in Auckland, New Zealand, New York, Washington, DC, Boston, Hollywood, Savannah and Litchfield County, CT.
She has taught sculpture at Washington Art Association since 2013. Her works of sculpture are represented in the Low Country by Four Corners Gallery in Bluffton, SC.
