Lesley Keeble
Sculpted Faces with Cloth Overlays

Half day class - $60.

Many different fabrics can be used as an overlay for a sculpted face. Cotton knit, gauze, velvet and leather are a few of the possibilities. The workshop will start with a demonstration of press molds and how to create them. Students will have the opportunity to then use air dry clay and press faces from simple molds provided by the instructor. By adding clay and re-sculpting the damp face students will customize their experiments to their own artistic vision. The faces will go home wet to be dried at home for later use.

Simple air dry clay faces will be provided for each student to clean up and experience attaching the cloth overlay in the second part of the workshop. Colored pencil and paint, a bit of hair or other fanciful touches will complete this project. This will be a face not a full head but could be used later to complete a full head.

Come prepared to play and go home with lots of new ideas!

Materials fee: $25 which includes: Air dry clay for each participant to experience press mold alterations with Lesley`s molds. Ready to finish faces, overlay fabrics, glue, embellishments, pencils, paints.
Students should bring a small plastic container for their wet clay faces, a small paintbrush and a small pointed rubber tipped clay modeling tool for altering their press molded face.

Maximum class size: 15
