Urban Fairies, Mistics & Other Creatures - Wearble Art Workshop
Sept 23, Oct 14 Waltham MA
In this collaborative workshop, you’ll invent your own magical archetype and bring it to life by creating a professional-quality piece of art. Depending on your vision, that might become a sculptural mask, an elaborate crown, a dramatic headpiece, horns, branches, moons, stars whatever belongs to your character.
Over two evenings, we’ll design, sculpt, build and paint our wearable works of art. An optional third evening will be available for more elaborate headpieces, details and character attributes.
Then we bring our creatures to life! The project doesn't end in the studio. Around Halloween we come together wearing our finished creations for a collaborative photo shoot and Masquerade Procession. Learn more
Cats Tarot Sculpture Workshop
Sept Oct 24-25 New Paltz, NY
This two-day sculpture workshop is about bringing out your inner feline — mysterious, independent, playful, elegant, wild, magical, or maybe a little mischievous.
Our theme will be Cat Tarot. Each participant will choose a Tarot card as inspiration and create their own cat character based on its symbolism and energy. The Empress Cat? The Magician Cat? The Fool? The Moon? The High Priestess? Or maybe you will invent a Tarot card of your own.
We will create our sculptures using Pal Tiya, a strong, weather-resistant sculpting medium designed for outdoor use. The finished sculpture will be solid and durable enough to live in your garden, decorate your porch or home, or become a very special handmade gift.
From an earlier Workshop
The Followers
Before the cats, there were rats. In an earlier workshop, a group of artists and community members built their characters exactly the way you will: wire and foil first, then Pal Tiya over the top. Simple skeletons became rats with faces, opinions and wardrobes.
Together they formed one collective sculpture — The Followers — about the relationship between modern people and artificial intelligence. Every rat was made by a different pair of hands, and most of those hands were new to sculpture.
