The Sandwitch - What's New from Butch Young

Everyone taking these classes will be in for a treat. Carving is the ultimate in blasting, yet, very few people have learned properly, since most people have only learned to get some sort of depth without the beautiful shaping of each pull, vital to the proper shaping and depth of the next pull. So many blasters have learned to simply create some depth around the edges of each pull, and, then try to go into the middle and match it all up. Trust me. That is impossible. Shapes formed in this manner are generally uneven, lumpy and unpleasing to the eye. Also, without clean, crisp lines between each pull, painting or gold leafing cannot be properly done. Good carving takes time, proper instruction, and patience, not to mention practice, practice, practice. You will be properly taught and observed. No student will blast without me and my ruler watching over your shoulder. At least one of your completed pieces will painted with a transparent glass paint, and/or gilded. Remember, your class will have no more than four students, for optimal, individual attention.

These classes will be three long and intense days, all of them Thursday-Saturday. Should anyone in the class choose to add a fourth day of instruction, I will be happy to stay, and, that day will be an additional $500.00. No one has to make that decision prior to the class, although it could affect your travel plans. I'll bet'cha once you get going, you won't want to leave. We hope to see you at the beautiful Rayzist facility for one or more of these classes. Work really hard and I'll take you to a fabulous dinner.
