FAQs
Learning to make a Sculpture
Do I need to know how to draw to learn sculpture?
No. I teach all the basics of how to make a sculpture and the forms required! Although having the ability to draw can help, it isn’t necessary! We don’t have to struggle with perspective drawing and other limitations. All reference images will be provided! Please go through “Learn to Sculpt” for all class options
