In this workshop we will transform ordinary metal into a fabulous thick, chunky, beautifully embellished deck of cards! Each student will receive 10 flat pieces of metal, playing card size, to transform into a beautiful work of art. Each card will represent a meaningful word or theme which will be further explored in text on the back, & upon completion they will be bound together with wire & danglies. Learn several surface altering techniques using patinas, rust, gesso & wax. Join us for a fun, exciting day of creativity & inspiration!

Kit fee of $15 payable to instructor at class time includes: all metal needed for deck, images, small found objects, wire, & ephemera

Supply list:
Scissors & brushes (3 or 4 medium flat)
4 oz of PVA glue, (www.booksbyhand.com, under tools & supplies)
4 oz. of white gesso
4 oz of Modern Options Patina, blue or green. Be sure to buy the matching copper surfacer, patina will not work without it.
Eyelets & setter
2 or 3 of your favorite acrylic paints
Small images & small found objects
A heat gun if you have one

A NoTe ABouT SuPpliEs : I bring plenty of images, ephemera & small found objects for everyone to use. However, I believe that it is important to have some materials to work with that you are familiar with & comfortable using. Therefore, I do ask that you bring some images & ephemera that you love to work with. Also, we usually end up having a community pile for everyone to use, so please bring extras to share.
