The National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) and the Artists in Middleburg (AiM) invite you to experience the annual, weeklong, equine sculpting intensive workshop with expert sculptor and instructor, Goksin Carey. The workshop is held at the National Sporting Library & Museum in the beautiful town of Middleburg, Virginia, the nation’s ‘Horse and Hunt’ capital. It is conveniently located to Washington, DC and Washington Dulles International Airport.

 

The workshop is open to all levels of experience – from beginner to professional. No previous experience in sculpture is necessary. Students of all levels work at their own pace and receive individualized instruction. With a small number of students in the workshop, each student will receive extensive, individual feedback and hands-on instruction.

 

The workshop includes a private tour of NSLM’s Exhibit, Romantic Bronzes from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts with Claudia Pfeiffer, George L. Ohrstrom, Jr. Deputy Director and Head Curator, a half day visit to a barn to study horse conformation, one-year memberships to NSLM and AiM, and a certificate of completion by Sculpting Horses.com.

 

In this workshop you will:

 

  • Learn the ABC’s of equine sculpting: anatomy, biomechanics and conformation

  • Learn the landmarks of the equine anatomy on a sculptural form, positive and negative, to sculpt from the inside out (the bone and muscle structure)​​

  • Complete your own, foundry ready, full horse sculpture (bronzing not included)
