About the instructor

Jimmy-James has been a sculptor for over 35 years. His primary focus has been on the human figure, and trying to discover an in depth look into how we are all put together and why we work the way that we do. Over the years Jimmy-James has taken many different art classes and has developed a teaching method that is very uniquely his own. He feels that his style of teaching is more hands on to where the student gets to do more, see more, understand more, and learn more. As well as, Jimmy-James is always pushing the limits between what is and isn't possible with his own clay projects, which can be quite useful if you have an difficult but fun idea and you don't quite know which way to go........
