unconventional materials
Unconventional materials can be anything from office supplies to things salvaged from your trash or recycling bin and beyond. This class will teach you how to see the creative potential in the materials around you.
Throughout this four-week class, I will cover different material manipulation techniques and strategies to help you transform these unconventional materials into your next work of art. You will also learn to incorporate the meaning of your materials into new designs and compositions. I teach using a combination of presentations, hands-on activities, demos, and opportunities for discussions and questions.
No experience is required. Each class will is recorded and available for 30 days after the last class.
materials and tools:
You will not be asked to purchase any materials or tools throughout the class and will be encouraged to use what you currently have.
Wednesdays | 5:00 - 8:00pm CT | May 3 - 24
fusing plastic film
Join me in a four-week virtual class where I will teach you how I fuse plastic film (think bubble wrap, grocery bags, and plastic wrapping) into three-dimensional sculptures.
You will see the techniques I've learned and discovered through detailed pre-recorded demonstrations. I will also provide weekly handouts summarizing each method's steps and helpful tips we covered in class.
There is time in each class where I can answer any questions you have, and you can share what you are working on with the other participants and me.
No experience is necessary. Each class will is recorded and available for 30 days after the last class.
materials and tools:
A dedicated clothing iron (I recommend picking one up from a thrift store)
Parchment paper (Sheets or a roll)
Bubble wrap or grocery bags (I will share other options on the first day)
Mondays | 5:00 - 8:00pm CT | June 5 - 26

“I was already working with unconventional materials to some degree and I now feel like I have a better idea of how to get from material to completion of pieces.”
