Sherri Warner Hunter
Concrete Institute
Instructor: Sherri Warner Hunter
Make your dreams concrete! Institute of Mosaic art is proud to host Sherri Warner Hunter for the week-long Concrete Institute. Hunter is the author of Making Concrete Garden Ornaments and Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden. This is a rare opportunity to learn from a master concrete artist. This intensive course will cover a variety of concrete forming techniques including armature building, simple casting, modeling, and polymer fortified concrete systems. Many types of surface treatments will be demonstrated and discussed with plenty of opportunity for experimentation. Visual presentations, demonstrations and handouts will provide inspiration and information to students to utilize in their own studios.
Student participants will create three projects: a foam and polymer fortified concrete sculpture, a faux rock, and a cast bowl form that can be used for a variety of applications. Each project utilizes a different concrete recipe and forming techniques. For discussion and sharing, students should bring sketches of concrete projects that they'd like to realize and images of their work. No previous experience with concrete is necessary.
Each participant should bring to class several items in preparation for their work
Sketch or notebook
Apron or wear work clothes
Ruler, yardstick, carpenter's square
Sharpie markers
Scissors
Angle cutters, lineman pliers, and needle nose pliers, straight cut aviator shears. (Note: these are good basic tools for participants to have for future sculpture and metal working projects.)
Small pointing trowel
Steel trowel (flat rectangle)
Plastic spray bottle
Yellow (cleaning type) latex gloves
Leather work gloves
The instructor will bring some tools for student use if participants don't have their own.
