Richard Bensley will be giving a 4 hour introductory course to Blender in Norwich, UK, on the 14th of July.

Richard writes:

Currently I am working on a 4 hour(ish) lesson plan. I will be giving a introduction to the basics of blender, an intro to polygon modelling, and finally some animation. After that I wouldn’t mind showing off some fluids, dynamics, and particles, as well as showing off some of the sculpting, compositing, video editing, and painting tools.
