Join internationally acclaimed sculptor Sergei Isupov for FIGURE – GROUND: Illustrated Sculpture, an intensive workshop exploring the sculpted form in clay, the painted surface and development of a personal narrative. At Asuurkeraamika Ceramic Centre, in Tallinn, Estonia. The workshop will combine hands-on active studio with demonstrations, one-on-one instruction and illustrated lectures.

In the workshop, Isupov will lead students through the techniques of slab construction, underglaze painting, and glaze application with the goal of completing several figurative sculptures. Studio Asuurkeraamika is a ceramics centre located in a medieval tower that once guarded Tallinn’s Old Town. There are five floors with studio, classroom, exhibition place, and gallery, which are all linked by spiraling limestone staircases. Read more at: www.asuurkeraamika.ee/

Sergei Isupov visits Estonia every summer with his wife, Kadri, and daughter, Roosi. Isupov works full-time as an artist and has a long, international resume with works included in numerous public collections and important exhibitions. His work is featured in multiple books, catalogs, and magazines, and is also shared via workshops and lectures at museums, universities and art centers.

Isupov is known for his highly-detailed narrative, ceramic sculptures, which feature completely illustrated in-the-round- paintings. Isupov continues to explore opposites as themes in his work. Emotional exchanges between men and women allude to romance, an affair, or simply mystery. Our own imaginations are asked to fill in and finish the narrative using personal associations.
