It is all about the inspiring power of rust!
If you like worn-out, textured and salvaged look and would like to try something exciting and effective – this is a class for you! Set of techniques used to create this amazing, unique book is perfect for any vintage, steampunk or grunge inspired projects and will give you a chance to achieve more heavy, masculine look on any kind of project. Bring your own book for a complete mixed-media makeover which will change it into real, old and rusty treasure.
Together we will explore and apply a range of layers based on art mediums from my collection which will transform your plain book cover – we will try Crackle and Rust Effect Pastes, Mica Powders, Art Alchemy Acrylic Paints and more! I will share my experience, demonstrate steps and techniques and give you advise to make sure you will get the best effects but there will be space for experiments and a lot of fun!
In the second part of the class we will focus on carving inside of the book and creating beautiful, heavily antiqued composition – it will be a perfect add on to your cover and a chance to create unique piece which will be great gift or your own personal treasure.
All the techniques can be easily used on many other projects such as home decor and altered objects or journal pages. Project is suitable both for advanced and beginning students.
