CONCRETE CAMP
2008 Dates (offered twice)
June 9-13 and July 28-August 1
Cost:
$600 Materials: $125 Limit: 8
Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM Programs 5-6PM
This intensive, week-long workshop
is designed to expose you to a wide variety of methods used to form concrete.
Hands on projects in the studio will result in 3 pieces, using different forming
techniques, to take home. Projects include a foam and polymer fortified concrete
form, a carved hypertufa planter, and an armature or simple cast form. Presentations
by visiting artists and Hunter after a day in the studio will provide additional
information on techniques, public art, and inspir-ation. Participants are
encouraged to bring images to share and ideas to discuss.
CONCRETE FORMS
2008 Dates: July 11, 12, 13
Cost: $250 Materials: $75 Limit: 8
Monday 10AM-5PM - Tuesday 9AM-4PM
Learn how Hunter creates the large Concrete forms that are the base for her
mosaic sculptures. You will start by learning carving techniques in polystyrene
foam and then explore the application of polymer fortified concrete combined
with fiber glass mesh as a way to make relatively light weight sculptures
that work for exterior and interior installations.
ARMATURES
2008 Dates: July 14 and 15
Workshop Fee: $200 Materials Fee: $40 Limit: 8
Monday - Friday 9AM - 4PM Evening Programs 7PM - 8PM
It doesn’t matter if you’re using clay, plaster, concrete or some other media,
many sculptures need some type of inner structure to help them stand rigid:
a skeleton; an armature. Several different construction methods will be demonstrated
to address the needs of sculptures in different scale and media. Wire, rebar,
other metals, and foam will be some of the basic materials presented Monday
morning. The balance of the workshop is for you to work on an armature for
a project that will be completed on your own. Welding will be discussed but
not used in this workshop.
Sherri
has been able to concentrate on creating large scale public sculpture since
moving to Bell Buckle, TN in 1994. Her work is included in numerous publications
and private collections, and can be viewed publicly at the TN State Welcome
Center at Tiftonia, the Nashville International Airport, Oasis Center on Music
row and "Rain Forest Treasures," located in the children's courtyard of the
new Memphis Shelby County Public Library. Hunter is the author of "Making
Concrete Garden Ornaments." and "Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden"
