Challenge your limits and develop your skills. This exercise will forever change the way you look at sculptures.

This online class will mainly consist of high-quality instructional videos that demonstrate the whole carving process of the little head in detail. You will be able to watch Athar carve the whole exercise in real time from close-up and from an ideal vantage point. During the process, Athar will provide detailed explanations of his actions and guide you through each step. The course also includes downloadable sample sheets that complement the instructional videos.

Following the step by step process, the course will enable you to carve the Putto in your own workspace and according to your own tempo. You can share the process with Athar through pictures and videos and he will be available through online video calls to answer your questions and help you out with additional comments and demos where needed.

It’s like you’re in class, except that you will be able to engage according to your agenda without missing out on anything!

I am so grateful for the care and detail given to this course. The camera work is superb: from start to finish of each letter he is carving and explaining, Athar never takes the camera away. You literally do not miss a single hammer strike - you are much closer than if you were looking over his shoulder!

This is an excellent course! The demonstration videos are superb, giving a level of close-up vision which I haven't been able to gain even in real life at the various carving evening class I attended.

Dr. Peter DaviesGP

Top tier content. Athar is very knowledgeable and talented. He is also particularly good at breaking things down and teaching them. Not all artists make good teachers, but he definitely makes one.
I highly recommend just jumping in and taking the course. You will be in good hands!
