DixonGrfx Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Maybe a sculpting class dedicated to the different sculpting mediums. Green Stuff, Aves Sculpting Putty, Fimo, Super Sculpy, and ProCreate. What each of them are best suited to accomplish. What the best mixing ratios are. What mixing the different mediums together does and when it's appropriate. That kind of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The amazing properties of green stuff. I have to say I adore liquid green stuff. Green stuff and liquid green stuff are two entirely different substances. Green stuff is a two-part epoxy sculpting resin. "Liquid Green Stuff" is the label GW has put on what I very much suspect is plain old acrylic modeling paste colored green. Acrylic modeling paste is very useful, and I love it too, but it isn't really green stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storminator Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Ed (Reaper CEO) and I have discussed a Hirst class in a one hour and 45-minute timeframe. We have an idea on how it might be done, and a couple of Reaper peeps and helpers who do Hirst from time to time. But I will need to do a dry run (take your d4 pun damage!) to make sure it will work before it goes on the schedule. We have tried subjects that range over multiple classes in the past, and it is less than desirable because to get the most out of those subjects a student needs to sacrifice a lot of class time learning only one thing, and for the complete experience also needs to be lucky enough to score all of the component classes. We would rather not do this. So it needs to fit in a 1 hour 45 minute class slot. Can you do the cooking TV show style? Cast up enough bricks ahead of time for everyone in the class. Then the classes do the mixing and casting, sets everything out to dry, and you hand the students the precast versions of what they just made. Then the instructor gets the ones the students just made, and can hand them out for the next class. PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 how about a class on 'how to keep green stuff from sticking to everything but what you want it to" class that's where my sculpting is at the moment I took three sculpting relating classes, two of them with GS. This is covered quite well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackMann Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 When Henson and Oz would perform as the Swedish Chef (Henson as the head and voice, Oz as the hands), Oz would sometimes deliberately go off-script and Henson would have to react to what the hands were doing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowRaven Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 with something like that, I thinkit is the only way you could handle such a class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the Hirst Arts class ends up being a goal, I can bring some of my molds with me to assist. It seems like this would be a situation where the more molds the merrier. ETA: Someone may also may want to let Bruce know. Not sure if he does the con circuit or anything, but a convention that is teaching new people to use his molds, could be a profitable trip for him as a vendor.

MissMelons Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I passed a Will save from purchasing bonwirn sets at the con. But it was a close call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I failed a will save, and getting my brother the Hirst chess set from Bonwirn for Christmas this year. I just need to source out some cool chess pieces to go with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
