Does your garden, yard, or window box need a little surprise, something to peek out from under your flowers and bring a smile to anybody who comes by?
If so, we invite you to sign up for Larry Bechtel’s newest sculpture class and make a concrete garden face (about 6″ high and 4-5″ inches wide)!
This will be a fun project, but you will also learn three sculpting skills: modeling a face in clay, molding this in plaster, and casting a concrete copy from the plaster mold.
No experience is necessary. All materials will be provided.
Please note that samples pictured are only for inspiration – individual class projects will vary depending on students’ creative visions.
Two sessions are included for the price of one!
PART I – Sunday, March 15, 1-3:30 PM
PART II – Sunday, March 22, 1-3:30 PM
Registration required.
Price for both sessions: Members: $150 | General Public: $175
