Fusing Plastic Film - 3 week online workshop
Fridays | September 6, 13, 20 | 1 - 3:30 pm Central Time
about the class:
Join me in a three-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 and live demonstrations.
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 over zoom, 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)
A range of safety equipment will be introduced throughout the class
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.
