We are thrilled to be welcoming Asheville artist Deb Karash back to The Makery! Deb's work is known for its vibrant color and uniquely graphic design aesthetic, and this four day workshop is not only an opportunity learn her innovative method of adding color to metal, but also how to integrate technique and design.
In addition to sharing the nuts and bolts of her approach to coloring on metal, Deb will show us how to abstract images of birds and insects to create a composition highlighting color and pattern. She'll walk us through simplifying a design from an inspiration photo or sketch; how to plan for adding pattern and color by coloring on metal; and adding texture and dimension through the use of layers and rivets. We'll learn her special techniques for preparing the metal for the best and most colorful results, including the best way to achieve depth of color using layers and shading. We'll each get a one-on-one design consultation with Deb to make the most of our goals and ideas, as well as guidance about how to think through and plan for construction and assembly of our finished pieces. Additional fabrication techniques will be covered as time allows, but all levels are welcome - this is a great class for everyone from beginners to more experienced makers.
And as an added bonus, the entire class will be recorded and you'll get 30 days access to the same videos our online participants will get... at no additional cost!
