19 through August 9 • 9–10:30 a.m. • Modeling Clay
Sculpture Workshop at Art Campus at Fallbrook, 310 E. Alvarado Street.
Explore abstraction or bring a picture of a realistic object and create
an impressive sculpture. Students learn techniques and the materials
to use in constructing a sturdy frame for an abstract or representational
sculpture. The form is securely attached to a base, and covered with
air dry modeling paste, and then the final touch - the painting, which
adds a whole new dimension in itself. A coat of polyurethane sealer
is applied for protection, and to finish the piece off. This approach
is similar to the process involved with bronze sculpture at a fraction
of the cost. The final sculptures are quite amazing! Ages 8 and up.
Register for this program with Yvonne at (951)303-3373 or e-mail ygaudet@verizon.net.
