One Day Workshop

It’s time to take mixed media into the kitchen with this stunning project that upcycles an old

muffin tin! This class is perfect for all skill levels, giving you the confidence to take mixed media artwork to an entirely new dimension while mastering how to incorporate a variety of found objects into a finished piece of art.

We’ll begin by creating backgrounds in each individual holder from sculpted fabric. Next the background of the tin face will be created with stamps, collage and stencils and a variety of different texture effects before adding some gorgeous layers of color. A rusted finish will then be applied to the background, highlighted with waxes, mica powders, glass glitter, micro beads and more!  You’ll have the chance to learn how to make your own embellishments from paper clay that can be incorporated into your artwork. You will learn how to transform your found objects and ephemera into brilliant embellishments using texture and color for adding to your muffin tin, highlighted with a variety of different inclusions.
