Garden Art
Description
This one-day workshop offers the participant a chance to discover the artist within by creating a one-of-a-kind, weather resistant, environment friendly work of art. The day begins by creating a wire armature wrapped with tinfoil. This is wrapped (mummyfied) with t-shirt fabric dipped in a fabric hardener which is a water based, non toxic substance. The lunch break allows the form to set up so after lunch it can be "dressed". Next the participant will use their imagination to bring the form to life as only they can envision. Samples will be available for inspiration.
Everyone to bring a healthy imagination and a smile to prepare for a fun experience.
