In this workshop, Iris will teach the process of creating simple armature with applied paper to build a small sculpture. She will also include the option of creating a small bowl using papier maché pulp. Hand outs will be provided & as this medium requires drying time, Iris will lead us to a point where the project could be completed at home. Iris is a very accomplished illustrator, a retired graphic design educator (18 yrs at VIU), & a passionate artist who explores a variety of mediums. We are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to learn from Iris.
