Le but principal des formations de Romain est d’enseigner aux élèves un processus de sculpture structuré, pas à pas. Selon les stages, des sujets variés peuvent être abordés, au moyen de références éducatives et d’exemples : Anatomie, expressions faciales, variation de genre, vieillissement, composition ou dynamique des personnages… et tous les secrets qui peuvent être diffusés pendant 5 jours.
Les élèves peuvent également apprendre des méthodes de détaillage de leur projets, comme la création de textures variées (rides, cheveux, fourrure, cornes etc. ..). Les sculptures réalisées varient en échelle et taille du 1/3 au 1/8.
L'objectif n’est pas de terminer à la perfection les projets durant le stage, l’important est placé sur le contenu et la méthodologie.
Il n’y a pas de réels pré-requis nécessaire à votre participation au stage de sculpture, mais un minimum d’expérience vous facilitera grandement la tâche, telle qu’avoir déjà manipulé un peu les pâtes, avoir travaillé du fil de fer à la pince, fait des découpes etc..

Workshop with accommodation in a gîte: 490 euros.
Workshop with accommodation in the common room (mattress/bed not provided): 430 euros.
Course with accommodation in a tent in Jérémie's garden (tent not provided), in a hammock, in a truck or any other solution where you are autonomous: 410 euros.

In case of cancellation:
In case of cancellation of an event from the organizers, you are fully reimbursed.
In case of cancellation on the attendees' part, Figostock does not reimburse any costs, unless the seminar in which you were registered remains full.
However, we’ll put those seeking a spot in touch with those no longer able to attend so that they can work things out between themselves. We’ll help with transferring, but will not refund registrations.

For those without a vehicle, a shuttle service will be organized the evening before the first day and the morning following the last day of the course to the train station of Romans-sur-Isère/Bourg-de-péages (15km).

Is there a minimum painting skills level required and / or recommended to participate?
None. Ultimately, it is better not to be too experienced in order to get the most out of it. The techniques are explained and demonstrated from the ground up. Demonstrations and advices cover a wide range, a very young beginner may not draw the quintessence of highlighting techniques, while the experienced painter may have an impression of déjà vu with the preparation aspects (that being said …).

What if I don't speak the language of the seminar?
We are sorry, but seminars will not be permitted to participant who do not understand the language indicated by the instructor. It will not be possible "just to watch".
To make it easier on the people who are teaching:

English workshops will only allow the presence of attendees who speak English.
French workshops will only allow the presence of attendees who speak French.
So that they don't have to repeat everything and run the risk of a mis-translation, or forget something important while translating a comment. They want to be able to give attendees 100% of their attention. Everyone attending a workshop is there to take part in it, there will be no gawking.

What will the "support" model for the workshop be?
For painting workshops, the support will be a model from the FIGONE line. We'll do all we can for it to be a recent release, and thus will not be able to reveal it far in advance of the workshop. But we promise you, it'll be really awesome! ;) For the sculpting workshop, an original concept will be made by a professional illustrator under the art direction of Jérémie and of the instructor. These will vary depending on what's needed according to them.

What do I do if I come by train?
The closest train station is Romans/Tollgate district (15km), and we will organize the carpool to pick up the trainees, so don't worry, you won't stay the night on the platform ;)
Everything will be specified in the workshop preparation document, which will be sent to you a few months ahead of time.
