In this workshop we will explore the relationship between clay, ink, canvas, gesso & found objects.
The first part of the class will be spent forming the clay around the canvas & creating multiple textures on the surface. You will learn about composition, object placement, working with clay & a variety of ways to create interesting texture.
After allowing the canvases to dry at lunch, the next part of the class will be spent applying color & adding the finishing touches to your work. You will leave with at least 2 (3 if you work fast) gorgeous pieces of original art & a variety of new techniques, tips & tricks to add to your work.
