online class: fusing plastic film

mondays | march 4th - march 25 | 1pm - 4pm central time

about the class: 

Join me in a four-week virtual class where I will teach you how I fuse plastic film (think bubble wrap, grocery bags, and plastic wrapping) into three-dimensional sculptures. 

You will see the techniques I've learned and discovered through detailed pre-recorded demonstrations. I will also provide weekly handouts summarizing each method's steps and helpful tips we covered in class.  

There is time in each class where I can answer any questions you have, and you can share what you are working on with the other participants and me. 

No experience is necessary. Each class is recorded and available for 30 days after the last class. 

materials and tools: 

  • A dedicated clothing iron (I recommend picking one up from a thrift store if you don’t already have an extra art making one) 

  • Parchment paper (Sheets or a roll)

  • Bubble wrap or grocery bags (I will share other plastic film options on the first day)

about me:

I make jewelry and sculptures out of waste plastic and other unconventional materials. I love the challenge of transforming everyday materials into sculptures and have learned and developed many techniques to do this. 

Though I've always been crafty, my first career was in teaching. I love breaking down complex skills into achievable steps. 

student testimonials

  • “I just want you to know how much I learned from your class and how much I loved the process. It was my first Zoom class and I was so surprised how well you organized it. I didn’t want it to end. You are a great teacher and I look forward to seeing you for another class!”

  • “I was already working with unconventional materials to some degree and I now feel like I have a better idea of how to get from material to completion of pieces.”

  • “I have a troubled relationship with plastic (I guess we all do); I never thought I would want to collect it, observe it closely, or care about how it behaves, but I am going to continue playing with it and making things from it.”
