Can you believe there is a sculptor at Pixar Animation who sculpts in clay? 

Kapi'olani Community College announces a presentation by the character sculptor from Pixar Animation Studios Jerome Ranft on Wednesday, April 1, from 7-9 p.m. at Kapi'olani CC, Ohia 118. Thanks to the generous donation of The Wallis Foundation, the lecture is free and open to the public.

Jerome Ranft has been the character sculptor at Pixar Animation for 18 years.
