audoll1Join Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg and Tommie Howell for a very special Day of the Dead workshop weekend at Darleen Bellan's studio in Hollis, NH.

Through team teaching, they will cover a wide range of techniques that will come together in the creation of a Day of the Dead folk art inspired Corpse Bride art doll.

 

Learn to make dimensional flowers (particularly marigolds and roses), create realistic looking faux bone, and try your hand at sculpting techniques that will not only help you to create  skeletal dolls, but will give you a great foundation for figure sculpting in general, through Tommie’s ingenious method of breaking down the human head into a series of simple shapes that anyone can  form.  The class will also include a short introduction to Day of the Dead symbolism and info on how to create faithful reproductions of this traditional folk art.dayofdeaddetail
