This review is from: Hands on Sculpting: From Your First Trip to the Art Store to a Fun and Relaxing Hobby in a Truly Satisfying Art (Paperback)

My family found this book to be informative as well as creative and fun for all ages and skill levels. It's written in an easy to read format, just as if you were sitting in a private lesson. The pictures and drawings are very clear and helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear directions on how to go about learning sculpting., June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hands on Sculpting: From Your First Trip to the Art Store to a Fun and Relaxing Hobby in a Truly Satisfying Art (Paperback)

Dottie Erdmann's work has made me take the next step to read about it. "Hands On Sculpting" is written very clearly, giving directions on how to go about beginning sculpting. Dottie's work has always been fascinating to me. Marilyn Sauler, Kentfield, CA. (note, I do not have an email address, I am submitting this thru the publisher.
