Leslie Hancock created the first online community dedicated to helping beginning sculptors. Novice Sculptors remains the largest group of its kind.

The Novice Sculptors group is for novice sculptors and experienced sculptors who are interested in mentoring. The goal is to create an atmosphere in which beginners feel comfortable asking questions and showing their work to others. Mentors will be there to give advice, share techniques, and offer constructive feedback.

Genres include, but are not limited to: small figures (human, animal, other), models/kits (horror, sci-fi, comics, fantasy, military, etc.), dolls and art dolls (mixed-media figures), action figures, decorative figurines, and so on.
