In this 2-day workshop you will learn how to create 3D forms without the use of molds or heavy armature. We will be working with Pal Tiya, a nontoxic material that works like clay and air hardens as concrete. Your form can serve as a base for a mosaic project or can be painted and be your newest addition to your garden. Pal Tiya sculptures work well both indoors and outdoors. This workshop is perfect for beginners, as well as, intermediate students that want to push for more complex forms.
