Come join me in Prescott, AZ for my signature Birds and Other Creatures workshop.
We meet from 10am - 4:30pm (Pacific Time) on Saturday and Sunday, with a break for lunch.
I’ll will instruct you on the various materials and adhesives that work for 3D vertical applications, and help you navigate nooks and bumps your creature may have so you can work on a smooth surface.
We’ll cover how to make glass feathers, how to cover beaks, or how to make unique hats and headdresses, and how to incorporate beading onto your creature.
Whether you pick a bird, a cat, a dog, a snowman or whatever else in between, I’ll will guide you in transforming your creature into a work of art. (If you would rather work on a non-creature like a vase or some other 3D vessel, you can do that as well.)
