Learn to sculpt the human form in water base clay

THE ART OF SCULPTING

JIM LEE

Welcome to JCLee Studios

Thank you for stopping by my studio and exploring my passion for sculpting the human form in water-based clay.

I find deep satisfaction in capturing the complexity and beauty of the human figure—not just in my own work, but in teaching others to do the same. My workshops are designed for both beginners and experienced artists, offering structured, hands-on instruction that helps students grow in skill, confidence, and creativity.

Each course includes in-depth lectures on facial and skeletal anatomy, along with discussion of expression, age, gender, and ethnicity—key elements in creating lifelike, expressive sculpture.

Please take a moment to explore my portfolio, view the work of my students, and read their testimonials about the workshop experience.

Thanks again—and I hope to see you in class,

– Jim

"Jim is known as a brilliant sculptor, but after taking his portrait sculpting workshop, I now know that his true talent is in teaching. Taking his class gives you the confidence to look in the mirror and say, Hey, I am an artist! Even if you've never had that thought before! My husband and I took his workshop together, and I would say that if you are looking for something new, interesting, fun, and educational to do as a couple, this is it! Just be warned that you will never look at other humans in quite the same way after this class. Two thumbs up for Jim."

"Jim has that combination of knowledge, experience and skill along with a teaching method geared to allow first time sculptors to be successful. After a full weekend I was able to walk away feeling filled up with creativity and accomplished in an area of art totally new to me. Jim creates such a welcoming and fun space that helps to make the classes a complete experience. I wish I could find a more expressive way to say how great this sculpture class is. Jim is one of the very best art teachers I have had. So fun, so successful and so worth the effort and the cost. I will definitely take another class! I will highly encourage others to enroll as well.

"Best weekend ever! I'm a retired teacher and a beginner to clay. I entered this class with a wee bit of apprehension and doubt. Within the first few minutes I knew I was in excellent hands. Jim is a master teacher and has the ability to guide each of his students to create an amazing sculpture. If you've ever dabbled with the thought of playing with clay take a leap of faith and experience this class. Be ready to be amazed and astounded at the sculpture hidden in you."
