Fantasy Fairy Bust Class

Jean Bernard e' un'artista di Reno, Nevada, che offre in giro per gli USA ma anche online interessantissime classi in cui si usano diversi materiali: Apoxie Sculpt, Paverpol (una sostanza per indurire le fibre sintetiche, ve ne parlero' in dettaglio in un altro post, prometto!),foglie disidratate, paste sintetiche, una serie di tecniche pittoriche e di decorazione.
Ho deciso di fare parte di una sua classe e diventare un'artista 'mixer media'.
La classe che frequentero', insegnera' come usare tutti questi materiali per realizzare il busto di una fata, come vedete nella foto.



'This class is full of techniques and creative thinking which allows you to do as little as you like or go way beyond the class sample. My step by step instructions are open to all levels from beginners and beyond. I will show you how I use the Aves Apoxie Sculpt, Paverpol, Paverpol fibers, polymer clay, fibers, dried leaves from your garden, texturizing medium, a variety of painting and finishing techniques etc. You may use one of your doll upper bodies made with clay or fabric, sculpt a face or purchase one of my face molds which I used for this class. I designed this class so each participating artist could create their own OOAK creation.

ENJOY!' Jean (www.bernard-dolls.com)

Stef, you've made a beautiful piece in Marilyn's class and I'm sure you'll do the same in Jean's class. I can't wait to see what you'll do with the Paverpol and Apoxie Sculpt.
Cheers,
MaryO
