Spirit Protectors: Metal Figurative Assemblage

I created my first Spirit Protectors during a difficult time in my life, and can’t seem to stop—I want to share with you! On day one, I’ll teach my favorite surface design techniques on metal: leaf printing, faux etching, texturizing, and metal transfers, and we’ll prepare our bases & create cool, funky faces. On day two, I’ll share tips & tricks to achieve balance, contrast, & a powerful composition. We will cut tin, combine it with our metal & make beautiful woven pieces. Learn simple cold connection techniques, as well as how to safely & properly operate tools. Finally, put it all together to create two figurative assemblages attached to a wooden base. Your Spirit Protector can be as large as your imagination can take you! No experience necessary. Materials Fee includes: All hardware, screws, nuts & bolts, nails & wire, paint, glaze, gel medium, clear coat, wax, hanging hardware & most tools. You will leave with at least one finished piece; however, most people complete 2 in this workshop.
