"Hero" by Peter Rubino

Peter,

I wanted to personally thank you for the amazing
work that you did in developing our "Hero" statue this
year. The sculpture perfectly captured the essence
of our company's focus, which is on supporting the
brave men and women of the fire services.

The 3 foot Hero statue titled captures a heroic
moment of a firefighter in action, emerging safely
from the flames, outfitted with Scott Safety equipment.
Further, it did a great job weaving in the American
Flag and Bald Eagle, representing Scott Safety's
"Made in the USA" commitment on all of our
Air-Pak SCBA.

As you know, we have placed this in a prominent
position in the front lobby of our main offices in
Monroe, NC, and it was a highlight of our recent
"Choice of the Brave" week, which celebrated our
brand and our commitment to our customers. Since
that time, it has been recognized by employees and
customers alike and is a great reminder to all of
our employees of the work we do.

You were a terrific partner along the way, and
I couldn't be more pleased with the results of
our effort together.

Thank you,
Jeff Emery

Strategy & Product Management

Brookgreen Gardens Workshop

Sculpting a Life-size Female Torso

July 13-17 (Mon-Fri)

Utilizing a fresh and functional sculptural language

Peter Rubino will bring participants on a technical and artistic

journey toward understanding the dynamic and creative

forces in figurative sculpture. The first three days will focus

on developing and finishing a 24 to 30 inch female torso using

water-based clay. Day one, participants will learn how to build

a clay foundation utilizing an easy to follow, step-by-step

method of arranging simple clay block shapes according to

the position, proportion, and planes of the model. Once the

foundation and movement of the pose are set in clay, students

will begin shaping the anatomy and forming their clay figures.

Tooling techniques, detail, and surface treatment will be

covered on days two and three, bringing the torso to a

dramatic completion. Days four and five are dedicated to

sculpting a large hand and foot with an option to continue

working on the torso. Daily demonstrations, group lessons

and personalized attention combined with technical training

will give each student a comprehensive and inspiring learning

experience. Additionally, Peter Rubino will discuss how to

hollow, fire, patina, and mount finished sculptures.

Brookgreen Garden's website.
