A new purpose-built Sculpture School run by Sculptors Andrew Sinclair and partner Diane Coates opened this year in Devon, with 3 classes still available to attend in 2018.
Learn Contemporary Realist Sculpture
The Sculpture School is the only establishment in the UK dedicated to teaching contemporary realist sculpture. Using a highly student centred and fresh approach, the diverse range of sculpting classes are designed to suit everyone whether a beginner, experienced or a professional. All sculpture courses teach proven techniques developed by Andrew Sinclair including the school’s unique approach to clay application. At the end of the workshop students leave with their clay sculpture.
“The ethos is one of excellence: mastering traditional and contemporary sculpture skills, understanding anatomy, learning how to ‘see’ shape, and most of all, dynamic and energy curves.” says Andrew Sinclair
The unique teaching method provides a solid grounding in sculpture design with the strong emphasis on anatomy is vital for students aiming to become professional sculptors. The school has a 90% return rate as well as attracting students from all around the world, which has been a huge boost to local businesses.
Planned courses for the remainder of 2018 are as follows:
- 16th November to 18th November Moulding and Casting Workshop with Tutor Rich Balman.
- 20th November to 23rd November Animal Sculpture Workshop.
- 4th December to 7th December Level 1 Figurative Sculpture Workshop.
The 2019 schedule will be released in November.

Working to commission during his 25-year professional career, Andrew’s sculptures are in collections across the globe. The late poet and publisher Felix Denis was his patron for many years, significantly he chose Andrew to sculpt his bronze memorial sculptures which are now situated in The heart of England Forest and at Felixs Garden of Heroes and Villans near Stratford Upon Avon.

Andrew’s passion is figurative sculpture and he has singularly changed the world of sculpture through his inventions: ‘The Sinclair Methodology‘ for creating sculptures and ‘Plastishim‘- a product used in mould-making, adopted by major foundries and the film industry as the method of choice.
His knowledge, experience, and unique approach are inspirational. Passionate about educating future professional sculptors, Andrew is the lead teacher at the Sculpture School in Devon. He is renowned as a true authority on sculpture, is an accomplished speaker and teacher. His book, The Art of Earth and Fire, has been called the definitive guide to figurative sculpture practice.
Diane Coates
Diane’s fascination with dynamic form, anatomical detail and sensuous line is the foundation of her work. Already an established painter and pastel artist, her career in sculpture began following her BA (Fine Art) degree in 2006. Her highly collectible bronze sculptures of sensual female nudes are in private collections throughout Europe and the Middle East.
Working at Andrew Sinclair’s commercial sculpture studio was the catalyst to her discovering how sculpture really should be created. A fervent belief that figurative art is wholly neglected in formal art education Diane is passionate about teaching excellence in sculpture skills and craftsmanship. This passion to change sculpture education led Diane, along with sculptor Andrew Sinclair ARBS, to become co-founders of The Sculpture School.
