Additional Events and Competitions

June 18-22, 2012 Carve and Paint a 12 inch Rainbow Trout $425.00
In this 5-day class students will carve an accurate fish with the centerline fins carved on the fish while the tail and paired fins will be inserted separately. There will be a big emphasis placed on obtaining the correct anatomy and "attitude" in your carving. Texturing, scaling and airbrushing with acrylics will be covered along with how to make your own study casts. If carvers are not quite finished with their fish when it is time to paint, a carved fish casting will be available for painting and/or purchase.

July 12-13, 2012 Fish Texturing Scales and Fins and Making a Study Cast $225.00
A two-day, hands-on class to investigate the myriad of ways to layout scales on a fish, from small pressed-in trout scales to burned half dollar-sized scales and everything in between. We will use a variety of burner tips and tricks including the Schreibeis Universal scaling tip sold by Razertip Industries. We will discuss and create lateral lines and quick scales such as my knurling method, Bob Berry`s nail head method and all the way up to competition grade scales. Also, we`ll look at texturing fins, from how to layout the fin rays to the final fin texturing and even the off-beat and strange textures that many coral reef fish exhibit. Bring your burners, tips and any fish you care to texture, I`ll do my best to answer your questions and help you gain a few new tricks for your fish carving bag. As an added bonus I`ll demonstrate how to make your own fish study casts which I guarantee will increase the quality of your next carving by 100%.
