AAS Sculpting Birds


Atlanta Audubon Society Presents…

Saturday, June 19, 2010 — 10:00am to 2:00pm

Would you like to learn more about the travels of the great naturalist and explorer, William Bartram?
Would you like to learn how to sculpt a bird out of clay?

Then this workshop is for you! Chris Wilson, a wildlife sculptor, will not only talk about his meditations on and inspiration from his ancestor, William Bartram. He will also lead you through the process of creating your own original piece of art. Chris has won over 100 first place awards and 82 Best in Show awards for his sculptures. He has taught art classes at Kennesaw State University (KSU), created over 100 sculptures in public and private collections, and recently finished a commission for “Midnight Watch,” a monumental size bronze owl statue on the KSU campus. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to sculpt a clay bird with such a talented instructor!
