Description
Class Description:Mixed Media Metalz is not your average jewellery design class. In this class you will learn to work with a new medium called “Moop." “Moop” is a malleable material that allows the artist to sculpt, mold, texturize and create patterns on a variety of surfaces. Once dry "Moop" can be coloured with inks or acrylic paints. Your piece will be finished off with the use of embossing powders and patina. This class is presented in an innovative, fun and non-intimidating way, by two teachers who combined have over 40 years’ experience in mixed media and metal work. Mixed Media Metalz class is designed to show students how to complete two previously dried pieces in class and create one piece for trying and finishing at home.
