Still room for more!
The Sign Magic Workshop in Florida is quickly approaching. I talked with the organizers this morning and preparations are well underway there. At the workshop we’ll be covering a broad range of topics including design, building of 3 files, pricing, marketing and a whole lot more.

Colorful menagerie!
Once the sculpting was done it was time to start in applying the color to our beasts. Primer, base coats, blending, glazes and details. We encouraged our students to go out on a limb, try some colors they might not ordinarily use, and in the process make their dinos come to life in a multitude of ways.
Dino might!
The primary assignment for our students was to design and create a dinosaur head. Using our imaginations was certainly encouraged of course. Each student was given the same assignment and a routed backer board to build it on.
The magic of mud!
One of the many things we teach at our workshops is how we mix our special formulas of fiberglass reinforced concrete.
