This hands-on, intense five day seminar digs deeply into all areas of representational sculpture. Using your own concepts, this class will magnify your original idea through creative design and strong composition. You will learn to expand your natural sense of creativity and apply it more completely. The development of mass, movement, rhythm and line will be thoroughly studied. In this class you will learn to incorporate clothing and drapery along with “outside” 
Quail, showing you first hand, the fundamental structure of a bird. You will learn the feather groups, how they overlap one another and where they are positioned on the body. You choose what bird you would like to sculpt. Stefan, came into this world with a total fascination of birds. His earliest life memories were centered around birds. At age twelve he began what would become a lifelong career in taxidermy. By the age of sixteen he was instructing adults in taxidermy in a night school setting. After graduating from high school he moved to the Klamath Basin, an inspiring area of northern California where birds abound. Stefan is an artist who has never worked a day in his life in mainstream America. His self- employed financial career, while mainly centered around taxidermy, has included painting, carving and sculpting birds as well. Savides’ forty-five year career in taxidermy has carried him to the top of his profession internationally and he now finds himself seeking new challenges. Sculpting in bronze is a natural progression for Stefan as it provides a lasting expression of his knowledge of avian anatomy and design. Years of intense study coupled with a flair for simplistic design equates to renderings that capture the essence of his subjects in tasteful clean works of art.
