During the last half ot the 19th century several things came into being, automation and more complex flight machines . Hence this piece is a bit symbolic of that time period . We will use gears, wood , metals, jewelry parts, feathers , lace, ribbon etc. and combine all of these to create a pleasing ornate design so poplar during that time period. In this class we will construct and alter a base from craft store finds and vintage materials .I will teach ways to design and adhere objects from various materials in ways that will hold together and be design pleasing . Our bird will then be created using a simple form that will be revealed in class. The bird is then covered in a no solder pewter metal wrap and dipped in a patina solution ( done outside and with gloves ) . It’s legs will be formed from wrapped wire. You will select from jewelry findings, doo dads, ribbon, lace and unusual water based paints( that mimc metal) all from my collection to embellish your base and bird . Simple attaching techniques I have developed will also be taught. . This piece is highly decorative and design principals will be a strong part of this class.
