Matthew Tan (X32 Lapis)I did a 2 Day Head Study with Javier. He was a great teacher to work with and helpful with the knowledge. Javier even went the extra mile for many of us when some of us forgot to bring plastic bags he told us no to worry that when we leave for the day he would go buy us plastic bags and made sure the clay were in workable condition for us to continue the next day. I would recommend Javier for people of all levels I myself went as a Beginner and thoroughly enjoyed my time. The interaction with other students was great too as we all chased our artistic endeavors together.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adrian BosiI did a human figure workshop with Javier in Queenstown and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone either wanting to learn the basics or wanting to level up their skills to the next level. He's very knowledgeable of anatomy and gives you the tools to capture it in the sculpture, while also explaining the whys and the hows. The classes had the perfect blend of theory and practice (with a killer playlist in the background) and he was happy to answer any questions and provide info and tips all along. I only wish I could've also done the human head workshop as well.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. McLeod FamilyJavier recently came to Queenstown and held a couple of workshops. I attended the Simplified Figure Workshop- it was intense, but even as a beginner I coped because the information Javier imparted was supported by the armature (a tangible figure), thorough explanations supported by literature with diagrams, and demonstrations on how the body moves, where the center line falls and how it balances. I have learned so much that I can apply to my pottery future efforts. Speaking to other attendees- everyone enjoyed themselves and were impressed at what they achieved under Javier's tutelage. If you worry that your skills are not good enough to attend- don't, Javier is a good teacher. Just do it!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate RossJavier’s head study workshop was a fantastic two day intensive on creating a realistic sculptural work in clay. Learned a huge amount about the material and enjoyed a very different process from my usual way of working.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
