"FANTASTIC course! I followed along easily. Camera angles were always good and easy to see the details. Audio was comfortably loud and the instructor was easy to understand. This course takes you from creating the base to completing a fairly detailed Ganapati Idol. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and I have almost completed my Idol. I highly recommend this course if you'd like to learn how to sculpt air dry clay.
