Create Wave substrates with Pal Tiya

Spruill Center for the Arts

Dunwoody GA

Create 3 wave substrates using Paltiya, very light weight  but strong material that you can use indoor or outdoors.

This workshop will benefit students who are interested in an easy-to-use sculpture media to create 3D forms that do not require molds, kilns, or heavy armature. Pal Tiya is a nontoxic material which works like clay that air hardens as concrete. Participants will discover the basics of Pal Tiya mixing and using other forms as support to create thin shells. You will also learn to create different textures, tooling, sanding, and finishes. The workshop will be a combination of hands-on learning and exploration of process images and finishes. It is perfect for beginners and for intermediate students who want to push for more complex forms. Open to all skill levels.

Pal Tiya is an easy-to-use, nontoxic medium that allows for the creation of 3D forms without the use of molds, kilns, or heavy armature. It is malleable like clay and becomes as solid as concrete when it air-hardens. Working hands-on in an exploratory fashion, learn to mix, sculpt solid shapes, and use simple forms to create lightweight shells. While a great substrate for mosaics, Pal Tiya can also stand alone. Experiment with different textures, tooling, sanding, and finishes and be inspired by Maria’s many examples. Later in the week after allowing for proper cure time, students will have the opportunity to add mosaic to one of their shapes. All levels welcome.

Registration opens January 13th 2022
