The Concrete Sculpture Workshop

In this workshop, Penny will take you through the process of designing and building the appropriate armature structure for your sculpture. She will go over many forms and type of inner structure to help them stand rigid. Wire, rebar, metal meshes, and foam will be some of the basic materials utilized. You start by designing and sketching a sculpture with a stand from rebar. Then you will bend and attach wire to make a form to be covered with a concrete mixture. This is a full day workshop, open to everyone. The primary focus will be on mastering the basic wiring techniques.

 

Duration: 1 class of 2-3 hours

Includes: all supplies

Cost: $200

Word of Mouth

I had the chance to witness many of Penny's events over the past 3 years at the Brew Creek Centre. She is a delight to work with and always comes prepared with all the needed art supplies. Her set up is efficient and she makes it easy for the guests to take parts in her workshops. People are often nervous thinking they don't have the talent needed to duplicate the project, but with Penny's expertise and easy techniques,  everyone is proud of what they were able to accomplish at the end!"
