Take a page from the life of the mad genius, Dr. Frankenstein, and create an amazingly altered doll in the wildest and weirdest mixed media assemblage workshop you've ever taken.
You will begin with an old, unwanted doll, rescued from thrift store oblivion, and proceed to sculpt, paint, dress, pose, enhance, re-create and otherwise alter it into a fantastically unique piece of assemblage art as cool, creepy, or crazy as you want to make it!
In this 2-day workshop, you will receive in-depth instruction in the uses of so many different materials and techniques for assemblage and mixed-media sculpture, your head will swim. This includes, but is not limited to, epoxy clay sculpting, creating textures with paint, a few unique painting techniques, wire-work, cold connection, 3D art composition, and a big bag of tricks for "hiding the seams" in mixed media. While we work, we'll discuss the themes and content of our art how we can combine wildly different materials and elements work together to tell a story.
