Default Pete LeClair

Folks,

Just spent the last three days in a seminar conducted by CCA member Pete LeClair. Attached are a few photos of the caricature the class worked on and a picture of Pete himself (in the red hat). Not only is Pete a patient and great carver, he works hard to ensure that no one falls behind and that everyone went home with a finished piece!

If you have the opportunity to take a class from him, I'd recommend you do!

What is the one thing that is better than taking Pete's seminar? Hearing that he will be coming back again next year! Heard that Pete has agreed to come back next year!

Nice work on the carvings Gary. Pete taught down here a couple months ago and like you said, he is very thorough with his instructions. It's all about technique........
