Workshop Details

Michael deMeng 9-4:30 Monday	337 - 3d Polaroid Assemblages	[back to quicklinks] $ 135 Plus $5 materials fee
Ah, Polaroids. Those yellowish tinted images from your family's scrapbook, complete with writing on the bottom lest we forgot when we wore such silly clothes. So why not have a little fun with these little art forms? In this class, we will be using actual Polaroids (either old or new) and modifying them into 3-D creations...how dimensional is entirely up to you. Using collage, painting and assemblage, you will modify existing photos with doodads and other thingies and, when you’re done, they may be a little too thick for the photo album. Supply List: --Exacto knife & blades; --scissors; --drawing tools (pens, pencils, pastels, etc--bring what you feel like using); --brushes ( a few detail or line brushes, some flat in different sizes nothing larger than 1"--leave your expensive ones at home); --matte medium; --paints (white, black, quinacridone gold, red, blue, yellow--any others you desire); --strong clear glue like E 6000; --doodads and found objects (bring various items that you would like to use on your shrine--jewelry, fake flowers, price tags, watch parts, fake eyelashes, etc); --some Polaroid photos, if you are willing to part with them. NOTE--this class will be held at the Holiday Inn, just down the road from the Embassy Suites. The hotel shuttle will be available for those who need transportation.  Lunch is included in the cost of your class. Online registration for the Portland event is now closed. Late sign-ups will be taken at the Art & Soul office at the Portland event, depending upon availability. Please check in with us there if you wish to inquire about a class. Thank you!
