For this class you don’t need to have taken the “Introduction to Gestalt Theory” but we’re going to explore one of the concepts discussed: Closure.

In this class we will explore this idea.Note: You will have lifetime access to this video recorded on May 21, 2021.

Modern Relics – Pink Bunny – 2″x 2″ x 4″
$125.00 $131.25Modern Relics – Pink Bunny – 2″x 2″ x 4″
$125.00 $131.25I use resin to cast these little treasures so that I can encapsulate interesting elements that inspire the viewer to peer in. A plaster and paper mix creates the amorphous shape inside but I add a quartz crystal for just a little touch of alchemy, to gather the viewers’ positive emotional energy and release it back later when the sculpture finds a home. One of the parts I like the most about my little sculptures is the metal powder incorporated into the face of the creature. It’s called cold cast metal when it’s added to resin. I use bronze, copper and other metal powders, and love the way it polishes to a metallic finish that contrasts so well with the clear, colourful resin. I hope you enjoy them!

They run consecutively unless for any reason you can not make a particular class. In that case let me know in advance or just call or email me with at least 48 hours notice and I will move you to a class that works for you. No shows without notice will forfeit the class.I will be only doing demos every other week to allow more time for you to work on your own projects or finish up projects started in another class.
