Having a newish twist on something old is always fun and helps you see things differently. I love negative space and that’s what we will work with. In this class we will use collage and drawing to create a subject and use the paint to create our background instead of our subject matter. You will need a cradled board or something with a hard tough surface in a size you are comfortable using. I have Modge Podge or you can bring your own matte medium gel to use to glue your back ground. If you have old maps, those make good collage material or an old newspaper or phone book are also good. Use any acrylic paint you like plus brushes and water container, bring a variety of colors of your own choice. Then any drawing or mark making pencils that you usually use, along with dry pastel and/or charcoal, colored pencils and eraser. We will work from a reference photo, high contrast animal, black & white printed on a piece of 8x10 or so paper. Animals are good because they are something everyone recognizes, has some sort of emotional feeling about and tests your drawing skills. I want you to concentrate on the cliff notes of the animal outline keeping it simple but conveying shape and bulk without relying on a lot of lines and shading, so a simplified form with a presence.

There is nothing like this process. You start a clay print by building a slab of clay in a wooden frame then allow the clay to become leather hard. Colored slips are applied and textures are embedded and carved into the surface of the clay. Then a substrate of polyester is placed over the design and hand pressure is applied with a wooden pizza roller and metal spoon. A thin layer of colored clays adhere to the substrate. The print is permanently bonded to the surface which becomes a multi-colored, archival, monotype distinguished by its velvety surface and rich color.

Learn how to create color on metal through anodization. This process can only be done on titanium or niobium. A wide range of color can be achieved through using a rectifier. Participants will learn different applications of using color through imagery, patterns or texture. Since titanium and niobium can not be soldered, various cold connections will be shown to complete pieces of wearable jewelry. This is a workshop that does not require any prior metalsmithing /jewelry experience. Open to all skill levels.
