There he learned model making (miniature Sculpture), mold making, waxing, castin – September of 1968, I went to work for Crest Craft Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio. For seven years he created enough work to fill a fifty page catalog: Military Insignias, Corporate Logos, for awards, plaques, and jewelry.

He began sculpting his own line of miniature bronze statues. dpkministat.com Summer of 2002 he taught a class in clay sculpture at the Albuquerque Academy. There were twenty-four students ranging in ages from eight to sixty-nine. He continue to make some models on a freelance basis. But he intend to spend more time and energy creating and marketing my own statues, and begin teaching sculpture on a regular basis in my studio. He am beginning with “From Clay to Bronze”. Eventually he hope to add wood carving and perhaps stone carving.
