We are gathering a list of resources that might be useful for our members. This page is designed to incorporate ongoing member’s studio work classes and teachings, a resource for sculpting materials, and a place to find companies who specialize in collaborative work for sculptors. For example, I’m not a welder, and not able to fabricate an outdoor steel pedestal and would like to know a source where I could have someone make me an outdoor steel pedestal. If you have any sources you’d like to share, or are teaching classes, please let us know. Please send that information to PublicRelations.TSOS@gmail.com – I’ll need the business name, the link to their website and what category they fall into. The category does not have to be one of those listed below.
