A note from your new instructor and moderator at Learn Sculpture: Many of the comments on our Learn Sculpture YouTube channel ask what happened to our videos. Why did master sculptor Chuck Oldham abruptly stop making videos? Chuck very tragically passed away in 2014 from a long illness. I (Vicky Oldham) was his student for over 30 years. I created a series of videos in 2021, and soon, I plan to continue the sculpture lessons to share my knowledge and inspire others to try sculpting in clay.
