Saturday Uninstructed Sculpting

This week marks the last class of the session!!

Since Karen is going on sabbatical, several sculptors have shown interest in continuing an uninstructed 10 week session.

- For the Saturday morning session from 10-1pm, we need four firm sign ups (Paid in advance)
- The same goes for the afternoon session from 2pm-5pm
- For the Tuesday class to run from 6:30-9:30pm, we also need four firm sign ups.

The price is $275 for each three hour session. There are no cancellations, refunds, or make up sessions because we're just covering model costs and the basics.

You'll have access to the door code, and may store your pieces in the model room. Karen will be available the first session to help set the pose. This is a self governed group so you'll be responsible for yourselves.

We'd like some feedback about dates and potential models. We're taking at least a two week break so we have time to book the model. We're thinking of hiring a female model (since the last session was male) and we're open to suggestions.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
