Vintage Metal Deck
$135
Leighanna Light
Student Level- Beginner to intermediate
In this workshop we will transform ordinary metal into a fabulous thick, chunky, beautifully embellished deck of cards! 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 $10 payable to instructor at class time includes 10 flat pieces of playing card size metal needed for deck, images, small found objects, wire, & ephemera, handout
Supply list:
Scissors
Brushes (3 or 4 medium flat)
4 oz each of PVA glue, matte medium & 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.
