In this 2 day workshop we will be creating a luscious deck of 30 plaster & 6 metal cards, each 4 1/2 x 3 1/2", that will live in a small metal box that will be embellished with transfers and plaster.
I will teach you multiple techniques used to transfer images onto plaster, gesso and metal, and will then guide you into taking each transfer to a finished work of art.
You can explore a theme or subject matter with this project, use this as a shrine to someone or place that is close to your heart, or allow yourself the freedom to learn the different techniques and experiment.
This is a fun, loose, lighthearted workshop with lots of time to play and experiment with different products and techniques.
I welcome those with all levels of experience, I hope that you can join us!
