#649 The National Sculpture Society Celebration in Philadelphia



Trish and I just returned from Philadelphia where the annual National Sculpture Society Celebration was held last weekend.  We enjoyed the exciting, informative, and art-filled event with fellow sculptors, friends, and patrons.

Below, are images from Saturday morning's wildly popular speed sculpting event which was enjoyed by all.
