Floyd Scholz' Mission Statement

Floyd's objective is to promote and foster a better understanding and appreciation for the fine art of bird carving and bird art through comprehensive, in-depth technical instruction on all aspects of bird carving, painting, design and composition.

Carving & Painting Seminars

The Vermont Raptor Academy is now located in Bennington, VT in the southwest corner of Vermont. Classes will be held in an addition built onto the Bennington Center for the Arts. "What a fabulous opportunity for an artist to have a museum wing dedicated to one's lifelong love of birds and passion for art," reflects Floyd.

The Bennington Center for the Arts is located at 44 Gypsy Lane at Vermont Route #9, Bennington, Vermont 05201. View map.
 

 
Students of all skill levels are welcome to participate in stimulating and challenging courses geared toward advancing the individual’s carving abilities to the next level.

Attention to detail is the hallmark of a Floyd Scholz seminar. Students come away pleasantly surprised at the amount of care, personal instruction and attention that they receive.

 
Working in a spacious studio you will carve and paint a piece with instruction on every aspect of the art form.

As Floyd's seminar schedule is generally in great demand, he offers the additional option of learning from his 2-DVD set, "Carving & Painting The American Kestrel" released Dec., 2005.
