Work with found objects creating multi-media 3D forms. Gluing, riveting, bolting, mold making, and casting will be used to connect dissimilar materials. Students will be asked to bring in some materials and some materials will be provided.
Multimedia Press Mold Sculptures
Learn to sculpt and take impressions from found objects to be used to create clay molds. All projects will be cast in Portland cement and hydro stone using masonry dyes for color. Faux bronze and silver finishes will be offered for interior sculptures. Students are encouraged to create several pieces. All materials provided.
Exploring Sculpture for Teens (Ages 13-17)
Create heads and figures of your favorite animals -real or imagined! Learn techniques for making with clay, wire, wood and more as you sculpt lively figures in 3-D. Instructor will guide each student in the use of special sculpting tools to create animation, texture and movement.
Metal sculpture is known as Repousse, which is working the metal directly to create relief sculptures without molds. Participants will learn the technique in small scale to learn the fundamental steps and tools for metal embossing. Repousse is embossing relief sculptures and have endless design possibilities for sculptural jewelry and metalsmithing, relief murals, doors, mirrors, etc. Emphasis on using your personal drawings and ideas, working with handmade punches to move the metal, for creating relief dimension.
Work in clay to create face masks, heads, and figures to be fired in the kiln. Mold-making and casting will be demonstrated as part of the session.
Blacksmithing and Multimedia Sculpture
Blacksmithing Fundamentals for Sculpture
Intermediate and advanced students are assisted with ideas related to their personal projects. Problem-solving and discovering new materials and techniques will be a part of each class. Bronze casting and welding will be offered with the approval of the instructor.

Students will carve styrofoam using brushes and hot knives creating sculptural forms and learn how to apply cement creating a durable surface for indoor and outdoor art works. The sculptures will be finished using faux finishes, colorful dyes, and sealers.
Introduction to Bronze Casting
Create wax sculptures that will be cast in bronze. Students learn how to prepare the wax form for casting, and the ceramic shell mold-making process. The instructor uses the latest mold-making materials available and students witness a bronze pour at the end of the class. Cost includes the casting of one five-pound bronze with option to purchase additional material for large works. Students are responsible for finishing the polishing and coloring of final castings.
Create whimsical figures and abstract welded sculptures. Learn basic cutting and arc welding techniques using found objects and mild steel. Students are encouraged to bring objects for their compositions.
