THIS CLASS IS FULL | A sculptor and master of anatomy who has traveled the world to learn his craft, Chris Raccioppi holds a virtual instruction session with experienced artists to spruce up their knowledge of how to portray the human body's musculature, bones and movement through space. During "normal" times, Chris holds the class in our building, enabling him to mix experienced and inexperienced artists in one class, but the exigencies of the Zoom format have required a choice between the two. We believe that Chris' skills are best utilized helping working artists hone their abilities. The class is full, but we continually monitor it for the rare open space.
