A day out in a junkyard!

An unusual and creative Company Outing experience.

Overview:

The studio workshop begins with a short explanation of the tools and techniques used in modern sculpture. Techniques introduced will cover initial sketching and the sculptural processes of carving, modeling, and construction. The hands-on project complements the discussions with work in soft material carving (cellular concrete).

The final result of the course is the creation of a personal totem - a representation of an individual's history, beliefs or experiences.

Explore Modern Sculpture in the studio through the creation of a personal totem.

Overview:

This studio course is an introduction to the tools, materials, and methods of modern sculpture. Discussion of studio theory will present issues from realism to abstraction. Hands-on assignments will compliment the discussions with work in papier-mâché, plaster carving, found objects, and soft material carving. Techniques introduced will cover the sculptural processes of carving, modeling, and construction.

Explore Ferro-cement sculpture in the artist's studio.

Overview:

Ferro-cement is a building and sculpting method used for everything from sailboat hulls to buildings, using very little material and is highly durable. Iron rods and wire are combined to support a myriad of cement forms. The process is divided into two phases; first the wireframe is constructed by welding rods to the desired rough form, then the form is covered in layers of cement. The cement can be left as is or coloured using oxides.

This studio course is an introduction to the tools, materials, and methods of ferro-cement sculpture. Techniques introduced will cover the sculptural processes of wireframe construction, application of cement layers and final finish.
