Class Description:
This energizing
workshop will jumpstart your inspiration, get you thinking in
new ways creatively and deepen your current art work. Each day
we'll create our art inspired by a different Creative Spark-
Color, Texture, Words and Story, and Visual Imagery.
Through a series of inspirational and fun,
non-threatening exercises, we will explore how to find the
kernel of an idea, how to grow the idea, what to do when
challenges arise and what questions to ask to refine and deepen
your ideas.
The workshop
will focus on polymer clay techniques and combining the clay
effectively with other mixed media. You will play with a
cornucopia of mixed media- polymer clay, papers, fabric, fibers,
beads, wire. Well create jewelry,
polymer clay books, three dimensional figures and wherever your
imagination leads you.
