Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Best Instructional  Sculpture videos?


Phillipe Faraut has some decent videos, I hear tell.  I've got his book,
but a fellow sculptor says the videos are good, although he moves pretty
rapidly along. . .

http://www.pcfstudios.com

I find his book very useful, lots of tips and tricks from the experienced
artist.  Good if you have some sculpting experience already, I'm not so
sure it would benefit a complete beginner, at least initially, but my own
skills have taken a noticeable jump since I started working with his book
at my side.


He is also willing to travel to your area if you are willing to arrange a
weekend (3 day) workshop and get at least 12 students together for it.

Hope it helps!
