Objects of My Affection
Julie Haymaker Thompson
In the spirit of Dr. Suess we will explore the joys of paper clay. In the morning we will form simple geometric and organic shapes . Decoative 3 -d design principles and shapes will be taught as well as sculptural balance. The afternoon will be spent choosing pleasing colors and finishing techniques. I will give Demos on mixing and applying paint to get the color and effect you want and will also demo a simple undercoat paint technique that will allow you to achive a dry brush painted look using colored pencils. Our pieces will then be embellished with glass glitters, beads and small decorative objects. This is your chance to be a sculpture and carry your creations home in your pockets!
This class will use water based paints and glues and any toxic solutions used will be optional finishes and done outside with gloves.

My artist professional background is in Illustration. And I have 30 years experience in that field as a freelance artist and in house artist .
When not Illustrating I have always been drawn to the arts and crafts field. I have shown my work in galleries and I also have professional training in fine metal smithing and hence I love the process of adding detail to my work. I love to take classes to learn new things and love to teach as the joy of seeing a person move out of the stress of daily living ,to spending several hours caught up in the relaxing moment of creating, is a rewarding experience . You also have an opportunity as a teacher to learn your self as everyone's creative approach is unique. My approach to my work has always been whimsical in design with the element of sophistication in finishing techniques.
