Explore this new art genre celebrating the Victorian age and industrial revolution. Use collage and assemblage to create a mixed media work on wood "canvas" using antique images, ephemera, paints & mediums, metal gears, hardware and wire. Various methods demonstrated & construction techniques introduced to allow for moving detail. Pieces can be charming, funky or chic. Annual Holiday Workshop includes a Victorian Holiday Tea!
Bring a basic tool kit. Optional: a small clock, piece of machinery or appliance; think interesting and old, not seventies-era, nothing dangerous though. Time will be given to deconstruct these (with some techniques shared); pieces can be pulled and items shared among class participants. I will also bring a treasure box of old things to pull from as well. Wire working tools (needle and round nose pliers, wire cutters), hand tools (screwdriver, pliers, cordless drill or dremel, bits), long tweezers, little bits and pieces of machines (bolts, gears and the like), imagery and embellishments of special interest.
