In October last year I started at the 'Atelier 31' doing sculptures in clay with the aim to get them cast in bronze, brass or other lasting materials. I stumbled upon the place through an ad in a publication of the 'Alliance Française'. The owner/teacher of the place, Patricia Byrs Lasquier, is a very inspiring and driven woman who convinced me to give it a go even though my experience in sculpting upto then was limited to attacking marble blocks with power tools and hammer and chisel. These are the results from the past few months and there is even one of my 9 year old son, Jules. He also caught the microbe.
If you are interested in buying one of the works, you can contact me by mail : ivens.chris@gmail.com Please also name the work that you fancy and your adress. Since the works are in Bangkok (Thailand), there might be some shipping costs involved. Any encouragments or critics are also welcome on the same e-mail adress!
Enjoy!!!
