Clay Gordon | | Natali:
Welcome to the chocophile network. I am not a sculptor in chocolate, but I certainly admire them. For the past two years I have had the opportunity to attend major pastry competitions where chocolate showpieces are one of the centerpieces of the contest. Here is a link to the chocolate showpieces created for the 2004 World Pastry Team Championship held in Las Vegas in July, 2004 as well as for past championships from 1999 - on.

Perhaps you can gain some inspiration from these. To learn the specific techniques involved will probably require apprenticing yourself to a chocolatier who is involved in these kinds of competitions or going to a culinary school where this kind of work is done.
Regards,
Clay

Betsy Schoettlin | | There is a chocolate/confectionery molding school located in Chicago. I have not attended yet, but it looks like what you may be looking for.

I have purchased their book on confectionery casting and it is excellent.
Sincerely,
Betsy Schoettlin
