PAPER CLAY WORKSHOP at MAUDE KERNS ART CENTER!
Join me for a super fun workshop and benefit for Maude Kerns Art Center!
When I moved to Eugene in 1973, I went to Maude Kerns Art Center to see about taking some art classes. I was a young single mother and had no funds. They gave me a partial scholarship to take a watercolor class, and I became a volunteer there. That gave me an instant community of fun people interested in art and I have been a member ever since.
Because of Covid-19, this year’s Art in the Vineyard festival was canceled, and so I am doing a fundraising workshop to benefit Maude Kerns and help replace some of the funds they would have raised at the event.
Weekend Paper Clay Workshop "Feathered Friends" A benefit for Maude Kerns Art Center
Saturday and Sunday August 22-23, 2020
Create bas-relief art using air-dried paper clay on boards. Learn new methods of self-expression in this fun 2 day workshop.
Using Creative Paperclay®, you will learn to sculpt relief forms onto boards and make free-form pieces on the first day. The second day will be devoted to carving and sanding the air-dried pieces, then finishing them with acrylic paint and medium. The result is a rich, textural, wood-carved effect that will leave people wondering how it was made.
This class is ideal for all levels of skill from beginner to advanced. Paper clay is a flexible and forgiving medium that will stir your creativity. We will be working from bird images because they make a great and simple form to work from for learning the techniques. Choices of images will be provided.
12 hours of instruction includes paper clay sculpting and finishing, plus basic acrylic painting techniques. Clay for each participant is donated by the Creative Paperclay® company and acrylic paint is provided by M.Graham & Co. A complete materials list will be available when registering for the class.
All proceeds for this special fundraiser will go to Maude Kerns Art Center.
Saturday and Sunday, August 22-23, 10-4:30 pm each day, with 1/2 hour lunch break.
Class will be held in the gallery at Maude Kerns Art Center, 1910 E 15th Ave, Eugene, OR 97403. Proper social distancing measures will be observed and masks are required.
