Don't wait for the right exterior substrate to appear for your mosaic. Create it yourself!
In this two- day workshop taught by sculpture and mosaic artist Tracy Broback, students will learn how to use fiberglass mesh and concrete with an acrylic additive applied to Styrofoam shapes to create lightweight sculptures suitable for mosaic use outdoors.
This class is perfect for students new to sculpture or for those wanting to learn how to lighten their concrete work.
Design and display techniques will be presented and Styrofoam carving tools will be introduced. Students will learn how to carve their own sculptural forms out of Styrofoam and or assemble armatures out of everyday and easy to find objects.
Over the two days, students will create two small to medium sized sculptures ready for mosaic application at home and to be displayed outdoors. Techniques for larger scales projects may also be discussed.
This method is easy to learn, easy to implement and uses readily available materials. Class will include lecture, demonstration and lots of hand-on work time. Prepare to work outside and to get messy and have fun!
