This class highlights innovative armature building and sculpting techniques that can be used with any medium from cloth to clay, and highlights design tools for creating figurative art. All students will have the opportunity to use a wide range of fusibles to create stunning, textural art cloth using an assortment of fibers from roving, silk waste products, angelina fibers, mosses, common househould items, art yarns, and ribbons.
