In this workshop, we will be learning so many different techniques to build and mosaic hand-made sculptures! Students will be making either a bird shape or a bee shape during the class, using simple materials you can find at any hardware store. In addition, while their sculptures are curing, we will provide a second fully cured sculpture to mosaic made by Karen. 2 sculptures in one workshop!
Each student will make a whole sculpture, from base to Pal Tiya, to the mosaic process. Then, while their personal sculpture cures, they get to mosaic a pre-made sculpture from me! Elements we can use besides the regular characters of glass tiles and dishes are found objects and hand-pulled glass from Kory Dollar! Two artists in one workshop! How does that sound?
Day 1 – Planning and drawing the shape of our 3-D sculpture. Learn about materials, including modeling from cement or Pal Tiya. Learn and use techniques to build an armature. Create their bird or bee sculpture. By the end of day one, the sculpture will rest and cure for 24 hours.
Day 2 – Mosaic techniques to bring your outdoor sculpture to the next level with glass, beads, and found objects. We provide a small pre-made sculpture, fully cured to work on. Students will learn about adhesives they can use on their sculptures. In the evening, we can work on adding any fine details to our cured sculpture, such as legs, wings, and head.
Day 3 – more mosaic work. Kory will demonstrate, and then students will choose their own pulled glass pieces to add an added element to their sculptures.
Day 4 – grout day, and finishing at least one of the 2 sculptures. Students will mosaic their handmade sculptures at home.
Once registered Karen will reach out with more details.
