In this workshop, participants will experience and learn from Artist Karen Starosta-Gilinski to maneuver water-based, non-toxic clay and apply it on a canvas using their hands and texture tools.
By using a variety of vibrant colored clay and rhinestones, along with other media such as shimmered finishes and small tiles, students will express their creativity through their hands by manipulating the clay in a meditative way of self-expression, creating unique artwork.
Students will learn how to use their own hands and body parts to manipulate the clay on the canvas and learn how to make any color hues by mixing the clay.
Karen will share images of her work to get inspiration, music in the background will motivate different moods and results and each one will get the concept for the piece inspired by a specific theme, such as nature, memories, or dreams.
It will be a unique media experience for all levels to enjoy. There will be a review at the end of the session for students to learn about each other’s final work, also constructive critique will be shared. All materials are included. No previous experience is necessary.
