Samsara

After some weeks progress is there

Although Ila had very little experience with sculpting, she was brave enough to start with a whole women figure and she really amazed me by the ease she did it with. We have to wait for the bisquit firing to be sure everything is done in the proper way.

This women figure of Sabien survived the bisquit firing and the glaze is put on. Her figure will have a bronze look after the second firing.

Reena was working on two pieces at the same time, the little tors and the head below. They are reading to be fired. And an other head is to be made.

Here the head is close to the final stadium, she did a real good job here.

Karen has made a lot of beautiful flowers, this week the glaze firing will be done. I am very curious how they will look after the firing.

After here first head a la Picasso, Ingrid is working more to nature.

I think I can say everyone is enjoying the Thuesday morning ARt Class

First ARt Class in KL

On the 20th of october 2009 the first ARt Class in KL started at Pena.

Enrich your life with sculpting

Hello, my name is Rita Suyk

I have been a sculptor for the last 15 years, and for the last six years I have had a very nice studio for sculpting in the Netherlands. This January I moved, with my husband, to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur and I like to pick up teaching again.

I have been teaching with great pleasure and passion, and loved to work with the different groups of people who came every week to my studio. Now I want to start sculptor classes in Kuala Lumpur and this is what I can offer you.

On a weekly bases you can work with clay. The clay work can be colored with stains and is backed in a clay-oven, or colored with paint after the backing process. For instance with a very special patina technique with thin layers of paint, which give the statue a rich bronze look. You can work with life-models or just use your own creativity.

I also organize workshops for clay for one or more days and special wax workshop for those who want there work in bronze. In the past I have been working in a bronze foundry where I learned all about techniques and the work-intensive process.

For my classes the skills of the student is not important at all. I always work with people from their own level and together we will work on improvement. The only condition I ask for is a huge quantity of enthusiasm and dedication.

Hope to see you soon,

Rita Suyk
