Introduction

My name is Ronielle, and this year I took 4 neo-classical sculpting course with a private sculpting teacher named Joel A. Prevost (http://joelaprevost.com). Joel's realistic technique of rendering the human body in clay, and unique teaching style, combined with small group classes of 3 to 6 students and the underground studio well-lit with skylights, I was convinced to take my first class. Although the class was primarily taught in french, Joel is is fully bilingual. The courses themselves were either 3 hours every week for a month, or intensive weekend long sessions. I took both types, and enjoyed the different experience they both offered. After a few of his classes, Joel offered me an apprenticeship position, where would learn much more about sculpting than in a regular class setting. Agreeing, this blog is for those wishing to know the everyday life of a sculptor's apprentice.
