step-by-step teaching style attracts learners from diverse backgrounds seeking to develop their sculpting skills.
"Whether one is a beginner or an experienced sculptor one will benefit enormously from Amelia’s comprehensive online courses. Not only is she a brilliant sculptor, but she wants to share her knowledge and experience in the most genuine and generous way. She is authentic, empathic and takes one through all the necessary steps and detailed observations to make one's own sculptures. She communicates in the most joyful way. The course is lively, and never pedantic or boring. The interactive instructions feel exactly the same as having one’s own personal tutor. She covers ALL bases: tools, clay, camera, poses, armatures and positioning. She shares tips and tricks that would take years and years to acquire on one’s own. Despite having sculpted for decades, I have bought all 4 of her courses and absolutely love them!"
