Interest in beginning sculpting panel?

I ran a panel on getting started with sculpting last year and had around a dozen people attend. Since I already did it once, I'm not sure if everybody who was interested has now gotten started.

Is there still interest in this?

I would cover:
* picking which material to work in
* basic physical limitations of the medium (or how not to have your art fall down under its own weight)
* some basic techniques to get different effects such as fur, cloth textures, etc.
* what tools you need or may want

What it would NOT be:
a panel on sculpey and polymer clay. I don't work in those materials. This would be a general panel on issues and techniques that apply to most sculptural work.

If there is a metal worker or woodcarver that would be interested in cohosting, that would be great! I don't normally work in those materials but there's certainly some folks that would like to try their hand at it.

I'd attend something more on the intermediate level, if you're interested.

I actually did sculpture work in college, but it's been so long and so much of it was me playing with power tools, so I'm always looking for something that might get me back in the groove.

I tried offering it as both basic and intermediate "roundtable" for last year, but nobody was interested in the intermediate part. There just aren't that many sculptors in fandom... or they just don't do furry stuff.

I did some metal work in college, but don't have the equipment to do it now.
