I learned the  fundamentals of sculpting from personally working with Forest Hart at his studio in Maine.  It was a turning point in my career, to spur me on to becoming the artist and sculptor that I am today.  It forever changed the way that I approached my work to recreate Big Game Animals in a manner worthy of the beauty and grace that they demonstrate in life. 

  Now, it is my turn to offer my expertise in the form of specialty training and classes.  My goal will be to teach the importance of the study of the skeleton and muscle groups and how they together work and function.  With this understanding, one can then easily, and confidently create in any scale or, in any medium original sculptures which will set your work apart from your competition. 

  This one on one instruction is available to anyone who seriously desires to improve themselves as an artist.  Classes in sculpting are available and can be set up to meet your specific needs.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

The sculpting classes will teach the procedure, whether for Bronze, or for taxidermy, starting with a skeleton to the finished model ready for moldmaking.

Instructional classes can also include altering existing lifesize taxidermy forms into custom poses.

HOW MANY DAYS SHOULD I PLAN FOR?

Feel free to contact me and we will work with you to determine the number of days needed to meet your specific needs.  However, anyone interested in scheduling an instructional class should plan for a few extra days to relax and enjoy all that this part of the country has to offer.

WHERE ARE CLASSES LOCATED?

We are located in Cody ( Northwest Wyoming), about 60 miles east of Yellowstone National Park.   We also have the extremely rugged and beautiful Absaroka mountains and wilderness area for hunting and backpacking, even a roadside camping adventure!  There are exceptional fly fishing opportunities as well.

Depending on the time of year, wildlife viewing and photography is second to none, especially from Oct. through May for Big Horn Sheep, Elk and Deer.
