Press release:
Come witness a sculpture being made by award-winning sculptor, Roger Martin of Albemarle, NC. Entitled ‘From Inspiration to Metal, the Creation of a Bronze Sculpture’, this master class with Martin will show “upfront and personal” the complete process from sculpting through casting and patina.
Starting with an armature, he will rough out a clay sculpture, demonstrating the creation of an original model that can later be cast in bronze. In addition, a digital slide presentation, which he has developed, will show the detailing which leads to the finished metal piece. Questions and discussion will enhance the learning experience.
This event will take place in Orange Hall Gallery Fringe on Thursday, September 26, 2013 from noon to 2pm. A finished sculpture by Martin entitled Penguin is presently on display in Orange Hall Gallery as part of the On & Off the Wall ~ Sculpture: Art in 3 Dimensions exhibit.
The master class and the exhibit, which are free and open to the public, are presented by Cultural Affairs. Questions may be directed to (845)341-4891; cultural@sunyorange.edu;
