ABOUT
Meet Hugues Scheid
Hugues Scheid, also known by the pseudonym H, is a French sculptor hailing from Reims in Champagne. Having graduated in carpentry and fitting, Hugues continued his studies in the fine arts at the École Boulle in Paris, specializing in the wood sculpture workshop. His studies primarily focused on drawing, clay modeling, and direct wood carving under the enlightened guidance of his mentors Patrick Blanchard and Yorane Lebovici.
Directly inspired by eminent French and Italian sculptors such as Rodin, Houdon, and Michelangelo, his education sensitized him to human anatomy, busts, and portraits.

Meeting Hugues felt like a divine intervention. I wanted something very special for my partner' s headstone and when I explained it to Hugues he knew exactly what I meant. I showed him a sketch of the hands and he replicated them with precision and great craftsmanship. I was so moved by his work and the commitment that went into it that not only was a piece of great art forged but also a friendship. Hugues created something unique and almost lifelike. Each time I see George's headstone I am moved and thankful that our paths crossed. Thank you Hugues for taking on the project and breathing life into it.

"I did a class with H at a different studio, so it's absolutely awesome to see he has his own space now! The 10 week female torso figure sculpture course was incredibly fun & I learnt a lot about how the muscles joined onto bone creating the torso form. As a painter trying sculpture I felt like I achieved an awesome outcome with the slow dry clay that allowed me to go back in and adjust week after week. Fantastic instruction, Absolutly loved it."

"I attended Hugues Scheid's Torso Sculpting classes in the Victorian Artists Society.
Hugues is an excellent and inspiring teacher. He is very approachable and down to earth – the classes were very enjoyable and I learnt many new sculpting techniques and sculpting concepts."

"I learned a lot from Hugues about the use of wire mesh armatures and self-drying clay, in addition to techniques to shape a human torso. He is an inspiring teacher and from his class the sculpture that I created was awarded third place in the Victorian Artists Society end of year exhibition!"
