When brass and copper are aged using patina solutions they gain color and texture that can serve as an embellishment, a structural item, and as both focal image and background for inclusion in mixed media work. In this class, Iíll cover every technique I know for applying image, pattern, and text to mesh using patina. Weíll even create a bead for embellishment. Weíll create an unbound portfolio of pages that will be both beautiful to look at and serve as a sourcebook for future work with mesh.
LK Ludwig creates art and chases her three small children around in a Victorian four-square in a very small town (pop. 4,023) in western Pennsylvania.† Many weekends are spent in the woods and at the river, where family memories and art are made while the Allegheny River flows by.† With a strong belief in creating around what she knows, nature, parenting, love and life seep deeply into LK's artwork, making it content rich and personally meaningful. LK's books Mixed Media Nature Journals and True Vision: Authentic Art Journaling came out in 2008.† Her work has been in a number of books, magazines and shown in various galleries.† LK teaches at various venues across the US and enjoys it very much.
