Getting Plastered Again Workshop!

Getting Plastered Again: Techniques in Plaster of Paris
July 16 - August 26

With the simple use of materials like plaster, burlap, fabric, wire, acrylic paint and water, experience a new way of playing in the mud.  I will share my love affair with plaster by teaching you the step by step process to create three beautiful and unique pieces of art. By sharing all of my mixed media techniques, watch your work be taken to a new level while loving the process along the way. This workshop will inspire you to incorporate what you've learned into your own creations.

"Getting Plastered" Workshop - Student Work

Deborah Middleton-Hope, Bird Project

Close up

I have been truly inspired by my student's work from my online "Getting Plastered"  workshop.  This  is one of my favorites from Deborah Middleton-Hope. 


I am delighted to see many of my students take the techniques they learned in the workshop and use them as a joyous expression of their own unique voice.

More beautiful student work!  This final piece really demonstrates the use of the Micheal's burlap canvas.  It has such a professional finish once the final painting is revealed. 

Once you see the luscious textures you get with painting on plaster, I think Nancy and Deb would agree that it gets addicting.  Bravo!

Daybreak

I'm having so much fun over at Artful Gathering greeting new students and getting to see all the faculty's work and profile pages. I am so grateful to be part of this site and group of talented teachers.

Birth of a Workshop

I am so grateful to be asked to share my talents as one of the group of artists on Artful Gathering.  Fortunately, I was given plenty of time to develop the workshop projects for my plaster class, so I really stretched my creative skills to come up with 3 distinct projects. 

Registration is open and when signing up, you can win many different prizes including a print of my crow painting.
