Liégeois Ornament scultpting

[bram ramon]

Today my girlfriend and me visited a school in Liege where you still can learn typical Liégeois ornament sculpting.
I will start next year it only cost 80€ a year for 2 evenings a week!! Why for understand how to give volume and to become better in composing ornaments!

I will start next year it only cost 80€; a year for 2 evenings a week!!

that will be time & money well spent, Bram!

I'm sure you will enjoy the work and you will gain a tremendous amount of skill in thinking in 3 dimensions. The 80 Euro fee is small but the cost of those fine carving tools will be frightening. Best of luck and please show us your work as you progress.

Bram,

Thanks for this. This stuff is awesome. I once had a conversation with Phillip Grifnee in his workshop and he told me that when you do sculpted ornament that it was better to not make the structures too high off the background. He said everything should taper back down into the background. This advice was some of the best I ever received. I started to do my sculpting this way and it is so much more elegant. The wood carvings show what he was telling me perfectly.
