This is a 5-day workshop. All classes run 9 – 4 pm each day with lunch included from 12 – 1 pm.
The use of paper mache often encourages a more whimsical approach to form making. And similarly the focus on dogs, with their distinctive energy, provides a clear invitation to play, explore and discover new possibilities in this medium.
During this week long workshop, students will develop a sculpture based on a specific dog or one purely of their own imagining. Participants will be encouraged to expand the creative possibilities in line with the emotional attachment associated with the subject matter.
Through surface gesture and surface treatment we will discover ways to amplify the characteristics that make them so endearing; articulating those very qualities that distinguish their individuality. At every stage the use of drawings in a workbook will be a useful reference in visualizing adjustments and expanding the expressive possibilities.
Some aspects of anatomy and underlying structure will be explored as well as various approaches to surface finish including, texture, colour, the use of paint, collage materials and the possible incorporation of found objects.
