Teaching Classical Sculpture Classes since 1996
"Best class I ever took" Wish I was living closer so I could take it again" ~ C. Hixon
"Learn from a Master Sculptor. She will teach you to breathe life into your sculptures." ~ K. Wong
“Marilyn is a sensitive and competent teacher who generously shares her passion for art with us. This is my first sculpture class, and the first clay sculpture I've ever made; I have only two regrets-- I didn't take this class sooner, and that it will end.” ~ R. Globus
"I've been painting for several years but have no previous sculpting experience. I am currently in my 3rd set of classes with Marilyn and I'm having such fun! Marilyn has a gift for guiding each student through their personal exploration of the human form. Under her warm and deeply knowledgeable tutelage, an enormously daunting task becomes a very fun and exciting challenge. I love it!" ~ K. Berg
“This course provides you with all the right tools to sculpt. Marilyn is a great informative teacher with wonderful insights. It has been a pleasure to come to class". ~ M. Amrami
"Marilyn is a great talent. She really knows her craft. She teaches the right skills in the right order, not too much instruction, allowing students to experiment, but she always has great advice when you ask for it, and there are layers and layer's of skill she can unfold as you need them. Fantastic!

“Marilyn's class is a fantastic relaxed environment. You won't feel intimidated, you will only feel welcome. Marilyn is gifted as a sculptor and as a teacher. She gently pulls your creativity out as opposed to forcing any specific style. It is an intimate class where you can make new friends and possibly a piece of art along the way. I highly recommend this class!" ~ K. Galvin
“There are many reasons to take a class from Master Marilyn Rodriguez. She knows how to get you engaged in the fine art of creating from clay, with live models, a piece that will force you to reflect in beauty and its transformation into life. She is the kind of professional that teaches, even when in silence she is looking at clay. TERRIFIC.” ~ I. Campoy
“It is difficult to sculpt a classic human figure; it must be even harder to teach others how to do so. Marilyn does it and does it so well it seems easy. She is very thorough and gives to-the-point assessments to her students while at the same time respecting their artistic individualities. I recommend her highly.” ~ M. Torres- Quinones, M.D.
“It is rare these days to find a true master in classical sculpture who instructs in an intimate environment reminiscent of the way it was done at the turn of the 20th century. ” ~ R. Blasband
“This is a class where a person can get a lot of help and information from a teacher who has a lot of indispensable knowledge of anatomy." ~ E. Suvasa
"I was one of Marilyn's first students in 1996. I've since gone on to become a professional sculptor and would not see this happening had I not taken the time to study the human form. I consider Marilyn to be a master sculptor as well as a master instructor. She has a passion for her life, work, and career.” ~ D. L. Baughan
