Stretch into the third dimension! Sculpt in a new 'green' material, a Pozzalanic Stone, while working with a teacher that makes it viable for everyone to follow their own path.
Using a form of aerated cement, Carole Murphy follows the student rather than having the student follow her, while cultivating the creative within each.
When opening to one's own creativity, resistance can be pretty powerful. Fear of your creation not being 'good' art, is one
of the loudest excuses not to make it. What better way to start off the winter than with a class that embraces the
creative part of you? You are invited to come and find your vision and put it into form! May the creative juices flow!
The classes so far have drawn people who were visiting from Spain, Germany, Scotland, England, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

Student Comments
Regardless of whether you are a true beginner or a seasoned sculptor makes no difference. I highly recommend Carole Murphy's
classes to anyone with the slightest interest in trying this sculptural medium. Carole not only has a flair for teaching that
incorporates her artistic vision, but she also works closely with students to encourage them and help them bring their ideas to
fruition. Because of her teaching approach and enthusiasm, the studio atmosphere is friendly and brimming with creativity.
This fosters a true feeling of mutual support among all involved. Also, Carole's dedication to this work is guaranteed to rub
off on everyone who participates. Don't miss this one. It's a great opportunity!

(Carole's) Love of Teaching Show"s in every class.....(Carole) inspire(s) me like no other Teacher has ever done,
If all Teacher's had the true Love of Teaching, what
a wonderful world this could be......
-Veronica Brim
Carole is always searching for new ides for her own work and innovative ways to create her wonderful sculptures. She is truly
an artist who is an accomplished teacher.-Eileen Holzman
Carole creates an atmosphere where each and every student feels welcomed and supported by all the artists in the class.
She offers instruction and suggestions as gentle nudges to your own creativity. I've done some sculpture before and loved
it! But I have left sculpture on the back burner. Now I feel compelled to make space in my live and environment for
expressing what comes out during the haze of my time in the studio. I am greatful for finding Carole and her studio waiting
for me.-Jere Fitterman
Carole's classes are a lot of fun. The wonderful thing about her teaching style is that she is
not directing the class in a specific direction or material. Instead she is there more as a mentor. She offers
suggestions and direction if you want it and is always very encouraging. There is also support amongst the
students.-Kevin Poe
Workshops
Carole Murphy, an Oregon sculptor, offers workshops in Figurative Sculpture through movement, dance and visualization exercises. By embracing the spirit within, we will bring to
form that which has been unavailable to the conscious mind.
This all day workshop introduces you to or re-establishes your connection with your right brain and brings the creative spirit forward. The groups are guided by the principles
that we all have the innate capacity to create; and creativity goes beyond the arts to include how we make choices and live our lives. By connecting to your creative wisdom, you
will begin to find a doorway to further expression in the world you live in. As you integrate this experience, you will begin to find yourself awakening new levels of spontaneity,
playfulness and joy.
You will learn to establish your own safe haven from which to allow the creative process to grow. Begin to move beyond the fear that prevents you from being and living all that
you are. The workshop is designed to provide opportunities to go within for renewal, insight, and inspiration; communicate with your deepest self and to explore new ways of
expressing oneself. Using the visual arts to access our intuitive wisdom and
Imagination, we will focus on expressing it through the physical form of sculpture. All are seen, heard, respected and valued. As a group, we are witnesses to each other's
journeys, supporting and encouraging each other as we create an atmosphere that is caring, non-hierarchical, and non-judgmental. We respect and honor the images that emerge in body
movement and in sculpture while opening the doors to the transformational process of art making and creative expression. As we begin to see our creative expression, access to a
world where personal images can emerge from deep within.
If you are a painter, sculptor, artist of any sort or a person that longs to find the artistic side of him/herself, come join us as we celebrate the artist within. Through
movement acting, visualization exercises, using music, mirrors and dance, the creative spirit within you is brought out to find form in sculpture. This workshop teaches a creative
process that enables the expression of the spirit in physical form. Nourish yourself and rekindle your ability to play and create. Embrace the possibilities!! Carpe Diem
