Come join us for this one day workshop that will walk students through the steps of building their own proportional armature for sculpting naturalistically from the live model. Developed over many years of teaching at the Philadelphia College of Arts and lecturing at the New York Academy of Art, Walter Erlebacher’s proportional armature is a well respected and often used tool for teaching écroché (building an anatomical model) and is employed by many contemporary American figure sculptors in their studio practice. Designed to mimic the definitive characteristics universal to the human figure, this armature sets the locations of a series of subcutaneous points and articular planes that help direct proportional relationships throughout the act of sculpting the figure.

There is something amazing about holding a piece (or 20) of Satuario Bianco marmo from Carrara and bring it back to Pico for carving and transport. But I think I need a forklift here….

Our Story

For years, Marc’s mother, a sculptor, complained that she had no place to get quality stone, a complete line of tools and supplies, or support and guidance from other artists. Marc realized that the creative process, already difficult and demanding, is further complicated by a lack of access to the proper tools and materials. That’s why he opened The Compleat Sculptor -- to supply you with as complete a line of tools and services as possible and to assist you in creating your masterpiece. We’re proud to now be one of the largest sculpture suppliers in the world and to support more industries than we ever could have imagined. To keep up with the changing demands of our growing customer base, we’re constantly expanding our stock and adding new, hard-to-find products to our inventory. So whatever your sculpture needs may be, we’re your one-stop shop. You supply the talent, and we’re happy to supply the rest.
