Thanks for sharing your experience at the class with us.  I would love to have been there.  I've heard Steve in interviews a few times and he was a very engaging talker.  Would have loved to been able to attend buts its a fair commute to Atlanta from MASS.  Maybe if his gets asked to NY or Boston I'd be able to attend.

Reminds me of a series of video's on youtube where we see Jim Henson himself doing these kinds of lectures in europe (if I am not mistaken). Great recap, I felt as though I was right there with you.

Wow, that's awesome ZombiePencil!!!  I was sooo sad because I just heard about the lecture/workshop yesterday... otherwise I would have been there with bells on!  I've been doing a whole Fraggle Rock marathon on Netflix and I'm obsessed with Wembley and Sprockett, both of which I think Steve Whitmire puppeted!  He's super awesome!!!

I'm glad everyone had liked my recap!  Steve probably could've gone on FOREVER if he hadn't been on such a tight schedule.  He really wanted it to be more of a dialogue than a lecture, to get ideas and other views from the audience, but I think it ran too short to really take advantage of that.

Yeah, Steve did both Wembley and Sprocket!

But yeah, the whole experience was very inspiring.  I hadn't touched my ConMonsters designs for a while (still need money to get my materials together) and found myself reworking several of the designs (I may post them in my gallery later when I get my computer to operate photoshop correctly again).  Steve's excitement is very infectious.

Thanks for the recap.  I wish I could go, but I don't see a trip to Georgia any time in the near future.
I was also reminded of the Jim Henson training class from overseas.

Wow what a great experience....thanks for taking the time to report back....really appreciate it.
