CitizenKate Report post Posted May 14, 2010 From Paul Burnett: "I have decided that I will try to devote at least one week a month to teaching. Each month’s seminar will last 5 days, Monday through Friday, 9am until 6pm, at my studio in Mount Jackson, Virginia. I will also have a few informal after-hours sessions during that week for problem solving and additional help. I have tentatively scheduled the first seminar for June 14 through 18, 2010. For my first seminar I chose the Victorian carving that was featured on my very first book, Pictorial Definition, of course without the title, etc. The finished size will be 11” x 14”. In order to do this I must have a minimum of 3 students for each seminar. The cost of each seminar will be $300 for each student. There are plenty of local motels with in 15 minutes of my studio, Mount Jackson or Woodstock, VA. Rates may vary, but they are somewhat modest rates of $55 to $75 a night. The quality is average or above. A list will be including in the registration package along with what you will need to bring etc. All the details haven’t been worked out as yet as I don’t know if there are any out there that are interested in such an offering. So if you are interested please email me at pburnett@shentel.net or call me at 540-477-2065. I realize this might look like a “scary” piece for someone just beginning leather carving, but I can promise you that, even for the very beginner, I can work you through it and teach you more about leather carving than you every imagined. There will be one requirement for those that are new to leather carving, that is: You will need to purchase the download of Lesson One of my Realistic Leather Carving course and do the practice exercises as much as you can before the seminar starts. This lesson has practice exercises that will help you to prepare for the seminar as well as give you an understanding of the swivel knife and the cutting phase of leather carving. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for those of you who are more experienced in carving, but not totally confident in you swivel knife skills, to study this lesson too. Perhaps you even own it. If so, you should review it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClayB Report post Posted May 20, 2010 That really does sound like a great opportunity for people. If I only lived a thousand or so miles closer, I'd jump at the chance!! I took a class from Paul a few years ago and he's a great teacher. If you are looking to improve your skills, you should seriously consider this chance. And as far as classes go, this is a pretty good deal price wise too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
