“Cowgirl Companion Shrinelets”
$65
Deb Trotter
Student Level: All levels
This class is based on my published article in the July/August issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors entitled, “Cowgirl Companion Shrinelets.” Each participant will complete one personalized shrinelet. Participants will design and construct a shrinelet consisting of wood, a tin nicho, paper, vintage photographs, and various embellishments. Class will cover the following: design and composition; coloring and blending on wood & paper with both chalk & paint; sanding & shaping wood; creating support systems to insure the leveling of the shrinelet components; gluing and bracing pieces of the shrinelet together; creating balance and interest with embellishments; and devising a design for the inside of the tin nichos.
Kit Fee of $15 payable to instructor at class time includes one authentic hand made, Mexican tin nicho (valued at $12), one wooden block (professionally cut & sanded for you, valued at $3), vintage cowgirl images (from the artist’s personal collection), & various embellishments. PLEASE NOTE: The materials for this workshop are relatively expensive, therefore, your instructor will supply all other major materials necessary. Every effort has been made to lower the costs of your kit fee while ensuring that you receive high quality materials.)
