Do you love the look of acetate infused with light? I do! That's why I have been experimenting with collaged acetate scrolls. In this workshop, we'll add color with paints, stencils, and stamps. Then we’ll layer in texture and dimension. I'll demonstrate how to cut out pieces of acetate and reattach them for a layered effect.
All supplies will be provided and most students leave with at least 3 projects, including 1 - 2 scrolls up to 5 feet long. These colors go down very quickly so bring paper if you like, or you can purchase more acetate in class. Confirmation, directions, and additional information will be emailed to each student upon registration.
FEBRUARY:
Bend, twist, tie, and wrap! This course will explore the versatility of wire. Sculpt using both figurative and abstract forms. There are no limits to the way soft wire can be twisted and shaped! Projects will include using fun, found objects to add a little extra “Bling.”
Acetate is really flexible and can be formed by using hot water…and it is paintable!!! Join me and discover all the great shapes and sculptural forms you can make!
