Workshop Description
Go beyond high polished surfaces and stones by adding interest with texture and patinas. In this workshop students learn how to join disparate surfaces and materials and experiment to find their favorite techniques. Beginners are welcome, and if you are a seasoned maker you will work on how to add something new to your style. Bring your sketch pad because class includes working on design. Students should leave with some samples and at least two finished pieces. This is not a Prismacolor workshop. Open to all skill levels.
