Lynne Chinn
September 6 – 9, 2018
Have you seen Lynne Chinn’s award-winning mosaic sculptures and wondered how she made them? Learn how to create a shapely 3-D surface for yourself under the watchful eye of professional mosaicist Lynne Chinn, as she navigates you through all of the decisions and steps that go into such a project.
Begin by watching the instructor demonstrate 
the techniques, learn which materials are best to use as an underlayment, how to build up your shape, what to use to cover what you have built up, and which tools to use to manipulate the materials successfully so that you can create a smooth, shapely and long-lasting surface to attach your own artwork to- whether that is mosaic, paint, gold leaf, fabric, etc. She will share how best to incorporate a hanging mechanism to this kind of substrate so that you will be able to hang your finished art work on a wall.
Next, a one-on-one consultation with the teacher, as well as a
quick 3-D design/sketch session will help every student in class to decide upon the shape of sculpture that they would like to accomplish. Then, plunge into the building process with Lynne’s guidance to steer you around any pitfalls, difficulties or mistakes that can happen.
The purpose of this class is to design, create and complete one shapely 3-D substrate. Do not bring in another unrelated project of your choosing.
After your substrate is built, Lynne will discuss how best to prepare the raw surface and what adhesives are best to adhere other media to it to get the most dynamic result our of your contoured surface.
