When: July 29 - August 2, 2024

Where: Jen Tough Gallery / AIR Studios Santa Fe

About this workshop: Creating art from found objects is universally kool..besides old stuff has stories to tell. We’ll add our own magic to our “Imaginary Beings” as we design medium sized sculptures (15”) either wall hung or table top from wood, plaster, epoxy sculpting medium , plaster bandages and steel wire. They may be animal or human or a mix of both..but they’ll be original. I’ll offer demos along the way of attaching bodies to legs ..heads to bodies, layered plaster , sculpting with epoxy clay and making sure that the finishing embellishments and paint are what you had imagined. I’ll also be teaching how to video yourself in the class and using reels on Instagram to promote your work as well as a guide to pricing, displaying, finding ones’ way in the art market world. I would be amiss to not include a class trip to the infamous Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe for an afternoon of drawing and design planning during our week together. It is a treasure to behold for storytellers in art.
