French sculptor Patrick Pottier is an artist known for his bold, uninhibited focus on the male body. Patrick uses clay as a sensual medium to explore masculinity, vulnerability, and the beauty of male form. “Sculpture isn’t just for the eyes,” he says. “You have to caress it to penetrate it—truly feel it.” Patrick offers a unique sculpture workshop dedicated to the sensual observation of the male body. Limited to just four participants, the full-day course requires no prior experience. Each participant takes turns posing nude in six short 10-minute sessions, offering their body as inspiration. In between, they sculpt clay busts of the other participants, guided by Patrick’s artistic insight. This immersive experience invites each man to become both model and artist, object and observer. It’s a powerful, hands-on journey into body awareness, self-acceptance, and mutual respect—far from the fleeting gaze of selfies and surface images. Here, clay becomes connection. Patrick Pottier
I love these bodies and Pottier’s art. Fantastic.
