As a birthday present my hubby bought me a workshop for sculpture making with a life model. He even did the babysitting as part of the deal and so that was great.
Our model Tash was reclining on a pile of cushions and she held that pose in 20 m sessions for 4 hours. It was the first time I had a model posing for long enough to sculpt!! Hooray! It really made a difference as I was able to correct things from all angles. We moved around continuously to appreciate every view.
What I noticed was the detail that I could get with a life model that is imagined when sculpting from sketches. Also because I did not have to get it fired, I was able to relax about air bubbles. Our tutor Linda said a mould would not be difficult for my sculpture and suggested the Sydney Sculpture School as a place where I could explore my interests.
