Sculptural Installations: Bringing your big ideas to life! With Cari Hernandez

Does an empty space excite you? When you see a wall, room, or venue do you image ways to bring it to life with visual beauty? In this 2-day hands-on workshop, we are going to go through the process of creating an installation, with the focus of our work being 3D sculptured forms.

We will begin by defining our installation site, analyze the components of access, placement, anchoring, lighting, and interaction/views. We will focus on specific sculpture techniques that utilize textiles, wire/armature, and plaster cloth. As a group, we will construct our sculpted pieces, with each student actively participating in making pieces of their own that will be incorporated into the single group installation. Through this collaborative process, each student will come away with an understanding and practical experience on how to approach designing and creating their own installation projects, as well as gaining knowledge on methods for creating 3D sculptures.

As a CORE Artist for R&F Handmade Paints Cari brings extensive knowledge and teaching experience, as well as providing R&F Handmade Paints products and supplies to work with during this workshop.
