Mixed Media Figural Sculpture – Weekend Workshop – October 17 & 18

Create A Mixed Media Sculpture! Have you always wanted to create a 3D sculpture but didn’t want to fuss with clay or other “traditional” mediums? In this class, you’ll learn how to create a dynamic 14” sculpture using beginner-friendly, affordable materials that you probably already have at home! We’ll start with a pre-built copper wire armature on a base. Once we’ve built up our sculptures, we’ll prep them with a liquid polymer base. Then it’s time to unleash our designer instincts and dress our creations. You’ll be free to make the clothing chic and fashionable or wild, funky and elaborate – the sky is the limit! Last but not least, we’ll add some finishing touches with accessories (optional) and dry-brush techniques. You’ll then varnish your sculpture to make it more durable and archival. Dates: Saturday October 17th from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday October 18th from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm. Cost: $125 per person includes two-day class and all supplies. Ages: 16 to adult. This class is open to all skill levels. Beginners are welcome, but be prepared for a fast-paced class covering a lot of techniques. Supplies: All materials will be provided, but you are welcomed to bring your own fabrics and accessories. If you do use your own fabric, the material must be 100% natural. Feel free to contact Erin through the Art Center if you have questions about fabrics or accessories. Space is limited so register early! To reserve your spot, visit the Antioch Art Center at 896 Main Street or call 847.838.2274 during open-door hours on Wednesday through Sundays.
