“John Brown is one of America’s leading figurative sculpting tutors – John’s teachings deliver a pragmatic set of simple to understand lessons that help ground the sculptor in the critical importance of learning the fundamentals of this art. It is these fundamentals that our creative team here at Weta Workshop value as the underpinning of our sculpting process – whether we are sculpting a hyper realistic figure or a more fantastical alien creature. Johns insistence that, all good work must be underpinned by a thorough understanding of structure and form, is also the cornerstone of our creative process .
Seeing John’s exquisite sculptural work is one thing – but witnessing the impact he has upon the students he inspires, speaks to the success of his approach to teaching these fundamentals. The work of his graduating students show strong appreciation for these foundation skills in figurative sculpting which is testament to Johns style of tutoring”.
