ometimes the most stunning artwork is
revealed in the smallest pieces of art – that’s the concept behind this
class where you will create a mini shrine created from a metal box to
hold all your treasures to create a piece that can be worn as a necklace
or incorporated into another larger assemblage piece.
In this workshop, you will learn the
fundamentals of working with a variety of mixed media techniques
including creating texture, layering, and working with many different
mediums to create this miniature statement piece. To finish our project,
you will create a wrapped ball chain necklace embellished with
coordinating crystal and beads.
