VERY BIG 3-D Mixed Media Workshop

Friday May 20th, Saturday May 21st, Sunday May 22nd and Monday May 23rd- 2022

10am to 4pm each day

The cost of the in-person workshop is $1275 and includes TONS of very expensive supplies. You'll be able to make a significant amount of work and come away with a working knowledge of not only these materials and how to use them but how they attach, interact, work and layer together in numerous ways

Because of the amount of materials and space required, I'm opening this up to 3 to 5 in-person participants, only and two Zoomers so I can focus on each person's individual needs and work.

Zoom option $1075

This workshop is all about materials and ways to combine them into 3-D objects. We'll be working with Tyvek, Fosshape, Wonderflex, Dura-Lar, wire, ink, plaster, acrylic, wood, metal, Vinyl, foam, rawhide and more! I'll be showing you options for hanging the work from the ceiling, attaching to the wall and how to build a free standing objects. This workshop includes a talk and slide show of artists working today with various materials and installations in exciting ways. We will look at the "why" and various concepts behind the work where applicable

I will meet with each of you via zoom before the workshop to flush out ideas and prepare
