Workshop Animals Sculpting in Belgium by Ana

Hello, friends!
It is a long time since I organized workshop the last time. A few weeks ago I was asked by our friend Florian if I could organize similar workshop as last time in his home in Belgium. After consideration, I decided to agree!

Dear friends from STS forum please, feel invited!  Because we have a bit more space available this time the workshop will be open for up to 7 participants. I think, as the last time, it is really wonderful occasion to meet people we know from the internet and share the same interests in animals world
Please read the plan below. If you are interested we will send you a pdf file with all details, here we post most basic info about the event.

• The event will take place at Florian's home in Grand-Richain/Belgium (what a great opportunity to see his collection too ) it is near to the city Luik/Liège
  
  
• We want to organize it in September, in first or the second weekend of that month, depending what suits better and which day is better for those who want to come. It can be Saturday or Sunday, it will be a ONE DAY workshop. So, basically there are 4 different dates to chose from and we will pick the one that suits most participants: 2nd of September, 3rd of September, 9th of September or 10th of September
  
  
• as the last time, the workshop starts about 10 am and finish at around 5 pm, we will have a free time for lunch in between and maybe even a small pause for seeing some of the exotic animals owned by Florian's neighbor  
  
  
• the aim is to start sculpting a chosen animal, learn some basic technique of sculpting in polymer clay, building a wire skeleton, creating realistic anatomy of the animal and creating various textures (fur, feather or skin, depends on the chosen species). The chance that we finish any sculpture during one workshop is small, so most probably you will work on it later at home. You will also learn about how to bake the model so it becomes hard and possible to paint when the sculpture is finished.
  
  
• the workshop will be mainly in English, (with optionally Dutch or Polish )
  
  
• info about needed tools and more details I will send to anyone interested in a document.  
  PM me or send an email if interested. Please note that this weekend (and actually until Wednesday next week) I may not have access to the internet (because of travel)
  

For some reason, I can't seem to be able to add any info in the posts on the forum, just a few words and the rest is deleted!

Yes indeed thank you :)

We have more info we would like to add to the first post but it's not possible for some reason

EDIT, after several edits,  finally the whole list appears in the first post, it seems stranger and stranger OK, but all info I wanted to post is posted

Don't forget we can speak a little bit in French if we have members who speak French

Sadly, I can not participate
But, for anyone who considers, do it!
It is so much fun, you learn a lot and you can meet STS members in person

Oh, yes, I don't speak French but someone who knows French and English will be able to help I think

That also, and we are on vacation then :3
Maybe next time

We haven't heard much interest in this workshop. Would anyone opt for another date, later this year? We are open to hearing your suggestions

Ana, I have missed this topic once I was out during it. I also missed your problems while posting, I hope it is solved now. Forum is quite sleepy, it is particularly evident during Summer time. I will turn this topic in an announcement, maybe some members missed it too. :)

I would be very happy to be with you. I hope I will be free to come. When will you decide the date?

Thank you, Roger! Well, I think it's quite possible that forum is less active during the summer indeed. I hope the topic is not difficult to find and if it can be added as an announcement that would be great!

It would be great if you can come! Please, write what would suit you more? September or October? If we hear from any more people who are interested we will know better
