If a man has trained to be a woodcarver and fine French furniture builder, the question would be, "how did he become famous for his human sculpted portraits and figures not even made of wood?
Try as I might, I did not find that time or circumstances of Philippe Faraut's (1963-) transition. Yet, transition, he did. Somewhere along the way, he learned human anatomy & physiology, how to build armatures and model in clay, wax, stone porcelain and bronze.
However he did it, he has been able to break down the processes required in order to teach others. He conducts workshops, provides videos and write books on his techniques.
Faraut and his wife live in the Eastern United States now where his announcement of an upcoming workshop sells out right away.
I think he must be an exceptional student and observer, which goes a long way to explaining his remarkable ability to transition.
