10am to 4pm each day

This workshop is limited to 6 in-person and 2 home Zoomers

The cost of this workshop is:
$575 for In-person participants including many supplies
$475 for home Zoomers

This 3-D object workshop is all about materials, form, surface quality and color. We'll be building various forms with wire, plaster and encaustic. I will be helping participants find unusual, intriguing shapes personal to their natural impulses, all the while pushing for new ways of looking and making.

Participants are welcome to bring, or have on hand, branches or any other objects or materials they may like to incorporate. This workshop includes a talk and Power Point of artists working today with various 3D forms, materials and installations in exciting ways and we'll be winding it all up with ways to hang the works or display on the wall or shelf. During the workshop, I'll be speaking with each participant individually to flush out ideas and discuss ways of moving forward.

No experience necessary. For home Zoomers: this will be a fairly simple set up.
