Vintage Style Small Sculpture & Ornament Workshop
with Doreen Kassel
Saturday, March 17, 2012
Doreen will be a guest artist on Sunday, March 18
This workshop will focus on creating fun, offbeat ornaments & small sculpture. Your imagination will run wild creating creatures & beasts from reference & expanding from there, or pull ideas from your own imagination! We'll work sculpturally with lots of texture, scoring & low relief, achieving high & low recesses. An initial coat of dark brown oil paint collects in these recesses & is gently rubbed off. After that first coat of is rubbed off, different colors of oil paints are applied, using the same technique of painting & rubbing. When rubbed, the colors reveal themselves to be subtle & beautiful. Every crack & fold adds to the charm, giving the piece a lovely vintage feel. Happy accidents occur, no great sculptural skills are necessary. My students are consistently surprised by the work they produce using this fun & forgiving technique.
You'll spend the workshop creating beautiful vintage style works of art!

Organic Sea Sculpture Workshop
Jana Roberts Benzon
Jana will be a guest artist on Sunday, April 15
Join Jana for two days spent ‘going with the flow’ as we learn to create ethereal, magical “Organic Sculpture” pieces, with their delicate black ‘outlining’ – this eye-catching, mesmerizing feature helps give these creations their distinguishing look. This workshop has a wonderful mix of technical instruction and ‘free-form’ time; we’ll learn how to create glittering Sea Shell beads, incorporating many of the basic skills for creating Organics with a beautiful, sparkling exterior. We’ll also learn to create a Sea Sculpture Brooch with its rough, crustacean-like exterior, and then the Seahorse Pendant with the beautiful (and mystifying!) “Netting” technique that adorns its outer shell. If time, we’ll also learn how to make a “Crumpled Brooch”, one of Jana’s favorites. You’ll learn the basics of Organics, several interesting shapes and designs, along with several new surface techniques in this workshop…
This Master Workshop is full of free-form fun, relaxed “in the zone” creating time, and also filled with so much new and innovative polymer information – you’ll leave feeling like your head is going to explode – in a good (organic)way!!
