Learn how to make realistic sculptures using modeling clay. Professional sculptors Vicky and Chuck Oldham take you step-by-step.
Vicky and Chuck (Charles) Oldham spent over 30 years as professional sculptors of fine gifts and collectibles for companies like Lenox, Franklin Mint, Cybis, and Danbury Mint. Most of Chuck Oldham's earlier sculptures were specially designed for casting in porcelain, and several of his largest designs were presented as gifts to European Heads of State by two US Presidents. Chuck and Vicky began making "how-to" sculpture videos in December 2011. Tragically, Chuck passed away in May 2014 from a long illness. Vicky Oldham has returned to the Learn Sculpture channel with a new set of sculpture lessons and project guides. See you on the live stream, and download the free guides to follow along.

Your stream has cut off at the 3min mark. :( I hope everything is ok. Enjoy your time camping! Have fun and make positive memories!
Sorry about that. The internet is almost non-existent here. I think I may have been able to get some good info out, but I'll probably later delete this video. I'll try to keep this up every Mon, Wed, and Fri though! Thanks so much for watching anyway!
Thank you for the small video.. it's always a problemen woensdag technic doesn't work have a nice trip...
I’m so excited for this site
Thank you! It is very inspiring to me that you are excited by this topic. I hope you find learning sculpture a way to enjoy life even more!
Have a nice trip...
Thank you! I will be working on the raccoon face when I'm there!
Hallo Vicky
Hi Cindy! Hopefully see you on Friday morning if I can get internet while camping!
Hallo Vicky, I have the guide and will start very soon.hope to see you soon !!
Great! I hope to see you soon. I am so glad you got the guide!
Yay!!! I’m so excited and happy to see that you’re back. Looking forward to working on this project together.
Hey Mark! Wow, glad to know you're watching and hope to see you soon!
He Mark, Vicky how nice to do this with you together...so nice..I hope I can join you at 8. Because of the different time zone... See you al soon.😃
Learned so much from your videos
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback because that's what I hope to do... share what I know after being in the field a long time.
I love how you explain and the quality is great but for God's sake, please zoom in when you're showing techniques. Unfortunately, we can't see anything you're doing which is such a shame because you had explained first 😢
Thanks for the comment. You know, I was doing this in front of my computer and for the first time in 2021. I am trying to sculpt, answer questions, and keep a train of thought all at once. There is no camera person present to create a broadcast-quality event. Plus it's all free. So hope you did get something from my effort.
@@LearnSculptureNo need to be so defensive as I didn't ask you for a " broadcast quality event" but for the basics " you post a video and no one can see what you"re doing " which makes it almost useless. Maybe that's why you have 8 views! My intention was to help you by making you aware of it. No one watches to admire your hair, just use a basic overhead setup like your husband ( no need for a camera man). Yes your video is free, but there are lots of other free videos on UA-cam and of better quality so no need to watch yours. You seem to love admiring yourself in the lenses and act like you're doing a huge service to humanity by posting a not so great video on UA-cam, so maybe reflect on it a little. My first comment was not malicious or ill intented at all but feel free to take this one as such since obviously I got annoyed by how you replied😁
Thank you, this is very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it! I am working on a new project... will launch soon!
This is so inspiring, thank you for showing me what is possible with dedication to a craft. <3
Oh, I am so glad you find it inspiring. I am working on a new follow-along project for everyone now. I hope you were able to download the patterns.
It is so nice to watch this class again. You are such a great sculptor. I really enjoy watching you work. I learned something new every video.
After 11 years later! Its good to see you back.
I will be adding new sculptures soon!
I hope you enjoy the expanded barn owl sculpture lessons. Thanks!
I've seen your UA-cam Thumbnails, which are good but not attractive for audience perspective. I can make your UA-cam Thumbnails more attractive and clickable by my beautiful design ideas. I really want to grow your business with me professional and eye catchy designs. May I get any chance to show you that what can I really do for you?
@@siameditz43 What I am doing is what I want. I am able to craft any kind of thumbnail myself. I am going for what I authentically do, not trying to get more clicks.
So nice to see the video's again..
Wow thank you for this!
You're welcome!
Beautiful, thank you for this video
Thank you! I will be uploading more of my series today, and the barn owl patterns are free at learnsculpture.org.
Looking forward to watching this project, and hopefully try my best as a beginner
Thank you, and you can get the download of the project patterns at learnsculpture.org.
It's a blessing indeed to see another demonstration from Mr.Oldham.😊 Thank you for posting this Vickie!😎
Thank you, and it makes me cry to know this is all I had left. But I think I'll just have to go ahead and continue the lessons, starting with the livestreams I did in 2021. One side of me says maybe because I was not the sculptor he was, I have no business teaching. But the thing is, I learned so much from him and all the projects we did together over the years for the big gift companies, and I should try to share everything I learned. I am in school right now so have super challenges with time, but I really need to do this. I will try!
After 12 yrs
Yes, after 12 years. Sadly Charles Oldham a passed away in 2014. I am his student and plan to post new videos soon.
@@LearnSculptureSure, do more videos, we'll be following you
@@mm-fx8bk Ok, I know... sorry for the lack of new material. I had a bunch of live streams I did and I will upload them again. Hopefully later today.
@@LearnSculpture thanks
Un grand Merci de France pour vos vidéos.
Awesome video. Thanks a million! I wish all my teachers were like you.
I am so glad you liked the video and found it valuable. Chuck was an amazing sculptor. I am his student and can begin lessons again in his place next spring. He passed away in 2014, but I have so much more to share that I learned from him. Thanks again for your nice comment.
@@heartandcheer RIP Chuck (I didn’t know). Yeah, it’s pretty amazing what one’s creativity can accomplish with such a simple and basic medium.
Fantastic instructions… I’m a little late to the party;-). Just started a couple of days ago. Thanks a bunch!
Glad it was helpful!
What clay is used for this nobody is answering.
Hi there... its at the top of the learn sculpture channel. You can find out about the clay and more there.
Thank you! You really helped me figure out feathers!
I'm so glad! Thank you for commenting. I will be restarting this channel in 2025. I am in college at Northern Arizona University right now (yes, at my age). One year to go, and then I'm back taking up what Chuck did when we began our channel so many years ago!
Nice 👌
No puede trasmitir el vídeo para uno entender los materiales y todo bendiciones
Por favor, visita el sitio web para obtener información sobre los materiales, como qué arcilla usar.
Hello Charles thank you so much for the help I just found your channel and look forward to learning more from you, I used to sculpt very good when I was alot younger and now in my retirement I started again like a little kid but like everything else you get very rusty when you stop something for a long time , I realy appreciate this Thanks again. Stephen
Hi Stephen, and sorry for being so late to answer. Charles (Chuck) Oldham passed away a little more than two years after we began this channel. I am his widow, and have remarried. He taught me sculpting but I will never be nearly as good! He was a prodigy. But I will continue to teach what I learned from him, starting again next year. I am continuing a college degree right now (yes, at my age!). Thank you for visiting us! - Vicky Oldham
thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much! I hope to return to doing short tutorials. So sadly, my husband Chuck who is the sculptor in this and other videos passed away in 2014. He would be thrilled to know how valuable this series was to people. I was his student for 30+ years and became competent, but nowhere near the talent he was!
Easy to understand. Using modeling clay, I'm making Christmas gift for my grand children. This detailed instructions are really helpful!
I'm glad you're finding it so helpful. There are so many ways to go about sculpting when you start from the very beginning, but realizing that everything around you is reducible to geometric forms (visually speaking!) is so helpful. Thanks for visiting.
Rest in peace sir, you were truly a gift to our people.
Thank you so much for saying this. It made me cry, because it is true. I was his main student (Vicky Oldham) and I'll be back after the holidays with some new lessons. I'm not nearly the natural talent he was, but I learned to sculpt enough to do it professionally. There are so many questions that come in all the time and I do have the answers to most because I worked with Chuck for decades (since I was 19, and I'm now 68. He passed away from an incurable lung illness in 2014). Thanks again for your heartfelt comment.
Thank you for continuing this channel! I am sure he is proud. I saw your work - it's amazing too! God bless you.@@LearnSculpture
10/25/23 @ 9:58 EST. I’ve just finished the car - love it. I’m worried that it’ll be extremely fragile without firing. I’m using Laguna ^6 WC608 clay. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ❤
Hi, for the lessons, we use oil-based clay, like plastelline, which is never meant to be fired, just reused. But a silicone mold can be made on the oil based clay and then some permanent material like hydrostone can be cast in the mold. It may require being cleaned up with a tool, and some parts reattached, but it will be a permanent piece, and you can make copies as well. After the holidays, I'll post more about moldmaking.
Need to see how you create the scales
Hope this video is helpful!
Thanks for this. I have started today .. wish me luck. 😊😊
Best of luck!
How do you make ancient person
Practice the figure demo and you will be able to make any kind of person!
im having difficulties with attaching the wheels because im using air dry clay, ruined the entire sculpture by mushing it out of anger 😅 any tips for attaching pieces with air-dry clay?
Hi, I use oil-based clay, and recommend this when you're learning so you get the basics of sculpting first. Then you can work on harder media like air dry clay and keep parts moist before attaching.
So professional! Love it!
Thank you so much!!
It reminds me of the sculpture a stegosaurus of the Making of Walking with dinosaurs
Thank you!
I thought clay sculptures had to be hollow with air holes or else they'd break in the kiln.
Sorry for the delay answering. No, this is oil based clay, intended for making a mold on later, then casting in a more permanent material (like bronze).
What kind of clay i should use
We prefer oil based clay for the original sculpture.
Amazing how much detail can be achieved with just clay and a pencil! I'll subscribe in hope this channel gets more updates!
I will make sure it does when I finish school in December. Thank you for visiting!
I thought it was a dog 🐕
LOL!
lol all these comments are so old
They are old but still helping people learn to sculpt.
Are you from New Jersey? I detect the accent
The sculptor in most of the videos is my late husband Chuck Oldham from the Philadelphia Pa area. Thanks for commenting.
What kind of clay are you using? my elephant broke into pieces after drying for 2 days.. I don't see how I can add photos, my elephant turned out great! And thanks for your lessons they are really very clear.
Sorry for the delay answering. Go to our site, learnscupture.org to learn more, get details.
I just subscribed and I watched your first 2 videos and thought well I am more advanced than this.... BUT.. I SEEN YOUR WORK AND I AM GOING BACK TO YOUR 3RD VIDEO AND PROCEED SIR. 🤗.You do excellent work but I seen videos that are 10yrs ago and this video 2yrs ago . Have you stopped making videos? We need your videos Mr. 🔥👏👏
Hi, thank you so much. I am Vicky Oldham, and Chuck, my husband of 39 years and a master sculptor passed away in 2014. I intend to do shows as I was his student, but will not be able to get back to more videos until later this year. Plan to do so then!
This is so simple yet amazing!!!!
Thank you so much!
I just want you thank Charles’ wife for keeping these videos up for us-I’m sorry you lost him so early-obviously the two of you were an amazing Union-such talent & grace in your work. The two videos I watched tonight taught me a great deal-thank you. I’m looking forward to trying star man soon 💗
POW I WATCHING THIS 2022
Thank you for watching!
