Epoxy Clay Sculpture
Winter Class | Registration opens Wednesday, November 5, 2025 12:01 AM EST
Epoxy clay is a permanent sculpting material that is economical and readily available to artists. This material is a 2-part epoxy clay, odorless, easy to work with and has about a 3-hour working time. When the 2-parts are combined and thoroughly mixed the epoxy feels and works like modeling clay. When cured, it can be shaped, carved, tooled, detailed, sanded and painted. Standard armature materials work well for any size sculpting. Sculpture created in epoxy clays are weatherproof. Students are encouraged to bring ideas for a sculpture to the first class. Each student may complete 2 or more sculptures in the 8-week class (16 hours) depending on the complexity of the work.
- Please note: You will need to pay a $60 for materials to the instructor on the first day of class for sculpture materials. Wear a work shirt/apron and bring disposable gloves for class.
Joel Keener
Residing and working in Claymont Delaware, Joel considers himself to be a realist with a traditional fine art background. Having worked in various mediums from pencil to cast bronze sculpture, his passion for art began in high school and after 57 years, this passion is vibrant as ever. After serving in Viet Nam, he was accepted to college and further graduated with a Master's in Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture. Joel has exhibited internationally, and his work adorns numerous private collections. Now retired from teaching fine art and design in higher education, he devotes much of his time to sculpture and drawing. He has crafted his drawing techniques which he calls energy drawings and messy lines to a fine art teachable discipline. His energy drawings won him numerous awards in numerous Science Fiction and Fantasy Art shows from 1998 to 2012. He subscribes to the idea that with this technique, almost anyone can create dynamic and beautiful drawings. His drawings range from softly toned nudes and portraits to wildly abandoned pencil and eraser strokes that burst from the paper and draw the viewer into the work with intriguing detail. https://myownlines.com
