Powertex Fox Fabric sculpture workshop by Inky Escapades
Description
For this workshop you will make this beautiful 3D fox sculpture using recycled materials. Anyone with a reasonable degree of dexterity can create this, no experience necessary. You will be shown how to create the armature and then clothe it in recycled fabrics. The features are created from Powertex Stone Art Clay. It can be displayed outside once fully dried. No two sculptures will look the same; they all have their own personality. You will need to come back for a 2/3 hour session to complete the colouring around three days later to allow the fabric and clays to fully dry. Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Powertex. It is a water based, non toxic and environmentally friendly universal medium it is a liquid essentially a paint and glue combined and it is a fabric hardener, used to create 2D or 3D sculptures. Where possible I use recycled products and recycled fabrics. I haunt the charity shops for 100% cotton clothes to use in my art works. I also use broken jewellery and often re-cycle and re-purpose many items. I will supply all materials, including gloves and apron since Powertex is a messy, but extremely creative business. I will guide you through the construction/creation of the piece and the colouring process. Workshops start at 10am, break when all the wet work is done so they can be dried off, and then we start the colouring. This is where the magic happens! Sometimes workshops exceed the finish time by as much as an hour. Please allow for this when booking.
