This is far more than just a kit: you will receive the clay, an armature, a manual, access to live Youtube tutorials and demos, model reference images, and two live interactive video calls with me to guide you along and answer any questions you have. Sculpting makes the hours just fly by, keeping my brain active and engaged. You too can now learn how to sculpt a life-size portrait in clay with this Stay Home Sculpting Kit. The method of sculpting I will be teaching you is based on observation. No measurements of the model are required. This allows you to be free with your sculpting and train your eye.
