Over the Top and Out of the Box

Beginners to Advanced

2008 Class Dates:

Five full days of must have teaching, PLUS an optional extra "Play" day on the Saturday following class for those who wish to join in on a day of "antiquing" and lunch with the gang.  You'll learn how to shop!  I know that all of you probably have a black belt in shopping, but I am going to give you some money saving tips on shopping for your sculptures to save the big bucks! I'll show you how to find treasures for your sculptures in the most unlikely places.  

If you've already purchased my videos and you feel that you would like some "live" instruction,
this class/seminar is for you, also.

This class is the most comprehensive instruction you'll EVER find!

Your mind and notes will overflow with all the information you'll take home. The seminar is conducted in my home in Dalton Gardens, Idaho. It's only about 45 minutes from Spokane (Washington) International Airport.

• "Judith is a 'teacher's teacher'. I've learned more in 5 days than from any other videos or classes from other instructors."

• "Judith met me where I was at . . . taught me what I myself needed; even showed me why I was making the mistakes and how to easily correct them."

• "I was intimidated when I first came to Judith's class, but her humor and easy-going teaching style made me not only relax, but I had fun while I was learning more than I ever imagined about making a realistic sculpture."

• "I went home from Judith's seminar with enough knowledge & ability to continue making wonderful sculptures. The previous instruction I had did my head for me, so when I got home, I realize I had a completed head but no workable knowledge of how to do it for myself."

Accommodations:
Students will be supplied with a list of hotels/motels that are in close proximity to class.  This info will include price ranges, shuttle info, and rental car info.  Previous students have shared rooms and transportation to save on expenses.  If you wish to do so, contact me for assistance.  Many of the hotels provide breakfast with room accommodations.

Lunches during the week of class will be catered  with a menu provided on the first day of class. I will let you know the cost for the five days before class begins.  There will be an option for health conscious meals, please let me know if you would like that option. You are welcome to bring your own lunches.  Snacks and drinks will be provided in class.
Evening meals are students' responsibility.  Lots of great restaurants are close by, ranging from the usual fast foods to Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Appleby's & others.

Materials that you will need to bring 
(VERY IMPORTANT):

• 3 to 5 pounds of Super Sculpey (this will give you enough to do a life size head and/or a set of hands).

• All of the sculpting tools from the Anatomy of Age I: Sculpting A Realistic Santa Head (I will supply additional tools and makeup, as needed).

• A list of questions you want answered, what project you would like to complete, and a list of marketing questions with which you need help.

• If you have a challenge with bearding & wigging, and would like to work on that, please bring some mohair and a jar of Stik Flat glue.

• Book - Drawing the Head & Figure  (Jack Hamm).

• Camera and comfortable, casual LIGHT-COLORED clothing.

• Set of glass eyes appropriate for the size of head you want to make.

• Some sculpting supplies like clay & eyes may still be available through Agape Supply (www.agapesupply.com).  Marcia Spencer (509-445-4045) can have them available in the classroom when you arrive, if ordered soon enough.

(VERY IMPORTANT) 
A white or light-colored top must be worn in class to prevent colored fibers from collecting on the clay.
