Q-102: WEEKEND STONE CARVING WORKSHOP (age 14 to adult)

Alabaster mimics marble in appearance and luster but is easy to carve. In this studio workshop participants will carve a simplified animal form: think fish, fox, dog, bird, and bear. You may bring drawings and photos or choose from resource file. Judith will help you to reduce the animal to its essential elements and transfer it to a stone. You will learn to carve and finish using traditional hand tools - primarily rasps, rifflers and sandpapers bringing your sculpture to a smooth, highly polished finish. The school supplies all tools and the necessary safety equipment. Each student should bring a pair of leather work gloves that fits well and wear comfortable shoes. A long lunch break is provided for discussion, reflection and rest. You may pack your lunch or eat at one of Clifton Forge’s nearby restaurants. The workshop meets at the CFSOTA sculpture studio at the rear of our glass and pottery studios building at 510 Church St. This is a course suitable for age 14 to adult.

C-120: COPPER REPOUSSE (age 12 to adult)
INSTRUCTOR: JUDITH SIVONDA Saturday, Nov. 3, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. TUITION: $45 (includes materials) Repoussé dates well back in history, to time of the pharaohs of Egypt and is found in many cultures, from jewelry to masks to serving dishes. Often called embossing but embossing correctly refers to a machine stamped piece, not artist handmade pieces. In this one-day workshop participants learn to plan and create a low-relief metal wall tile. Patiently alternating repoussé or pushing and chasing of metal foil sheets stretches the metal to give dimension to your design. Some design ideas will also be provided if your personal muse is not with you. |
