Jeff Phares seminar

??? I am wodering if anyone knows if Jeff Phares gives seminars? I have seen a couple of his books on faces and am interested. A friend in our club has self taught himself Jeff's techniques, but I would enjoy hands on if possible. His faces are very realistic.
Thanks-
Barry

I'm interested to see the answer to this one. His books are the best ones I have read on caricature carving, particulary his discussion about the 'planes of the face.' He was the first one to get that across to me ... although I recall that other authors have tried to do the same thing. :-/

He's got the classes but pretty expensive. Check Chip Chats for classes given by him and numerous others.

:-[I think Jeff has dropped out of sight for awhile. I haven't seen a class posting anywhere for him since he started writing books. Pam :-/
