Sculptural Boats Explore the ever expanding vocabulary of the Mixed Media Vessel form while combinding sculptural concepts of vessel construction. Students will learn applying different methods of stitching, weaving, and cold connection to various fibers from fabric, paper, along with reclaimed materials. After the vessel is constructed the focus will shift next to applying encaustic medium and paint layers to your vessel allowing the beginning of embellishment apporches such as mark making techinques with oil sticks, thread, wire, found objects, or collected items in nature. Take your encaustic or sculptural experince to the next level, this is a highly process driven workshop.
Shannon Weber and Pam Nichols "Rusty Vessels" with Bellissima Art Escapes.
This is our second time of playing together and you don't want to miss this. You will get all of my Sculptural Boats and Objects approaches with a twist! Pam will be teaching her Rusted Paper Skills with her huge collection of rusted metal stash. Then Pam will light up the torches and show you how to apply your rusted paper onto wood panels with encaustic medium and paint. Surface design options will be addressed.

Whether you're an artist, writer, gardener, naturalist, skinny dipper, or day tripper, our relationships with nature are vital to the understanding of our world and ourselves. It is the connection of place that can drive and influence creativity of all kinds. We will engage nature by listening, watching, and gathering items of the land which will then be bound, stitched, woven, assembled, painted and transformed into vessels, talismans, or journals. While all the materials will be provided, students are highly encouraged to bring their own collections of nature, paper, threads, or artworks that can be taken apart, added to, reassembled, transformed or used for embellishment.

This is process driven experience were students will engage in constructing different small scale mixed media objects and vessels using repetitive laying techniques. These processes will included cold connection, stitching, binding, to various forms of basketry. Students will be using unusual tactile materials as metal tape, bike tubing, various kinds of nature and reclaim.
