Workshop Description
Join artist and teacher Caitlin Hepworth to learn to think differently about Sculptural Mosaic, where the development of the form is as much a consideration as the mosaic which is later applied to it. Caitlin has come to mosaic practice from a sculptural background and she aims to share her knowledge and love of this complex artform and its connect sculptural form and mosaic in meaningful ways.
It is Caitlin’s view that in sculptural mosaic, the form and the tesserae must energetically connect and work together to convey the artist’s intention. The two elements are co-dependent and intrinsically linked and for a successful outcome the sculptural form itself must be valid. Many mosaicists have well developed skills in the creative and technical aspects of mosaic, however many lack training and skills in sculpture and conceptual development.
In this workshop, students will learn strategies to explore, develop, evaluate and construct sculptural forms for mosaic.
This session should particularly benefit those who are interested in broadening their practice to include sculpture as well as those who have already begun to work in 3D.
Includes all materials and eBooks of each presentation.
Note: This workshop does not include any mosaicing, however the mosaic application is discussed where relevant throughout the workshop
