This class is suitable for beginners and students that wish to move onto different shape and techniques.
Woven Wild Animals. Two day environmental sculpture course
When:7th and 8th Nov
This is a two day exploration of the use of natural materials and their potential in creating sculptures, in this time in the beautiful setting of Derryaun, Drummin. We will initially create a bird from willow and birch and as the time progresses we will create pieces of the participants devising. In this time we will have an overview of environmental art and will through walks identify material that is suitable for making sculpture.
The aim of the two days are ;
· To facilitate artists and non artists to identify natural materials which are suitable to build sculptures with.
· To become aware of the potential of working with natural materials in a sculptural sense.
· To learn some basic techniques that are useful in working with natural materials.
