Not quite sure what to do with the mounds of junk....oops...I mean, treasures that have been accumulating in your studio? Have you been afraid to use that vintage tin, saving it for the “perfect” project? Well dig it all up & bring it to this class, where we will create the wackiest flock of birds you’ve ever seen! Add to your cold connecting, assemblage & composition skills, but most of all, learn how to let go of perfection, let loose & have a blast!
You will leave with at least 3 totally unique, one of a kind birds. The birds that you make in class can be any size, depending on the metal that you bring. Most of my birds are around 8” x 5”.
Kit fee of $10 payable to Instructor at class time includes:.
- extra metal
- found objects
- ephemera
- use of all tools
- consumables
Students should bring:
- A good pair of tin snips, preferably these - or these
- 3 or 4 vintage tins or vintage ceiling tins, to be used for the body of your bird. Size depends on how large you want your bird to be.... We will be cutting these up.
- pliers
- scissors
- pencil
- sharpie
- brads, eyelets & craft wire
- a crop-o-dile if you have one (if you don’t know what this is, don’t buy one)!
- eye & hand protection, garden gloves will work
- STUFF! Buttons, beads, metal scraps, charms, rulers, lace, game pieces, fibers are just a few examples. Think about objects to use for legs, wings, eyes, or hats, as well as objects to decorate your new winged friend with.
