James Talbot
Ferrocement Sculpture
 
International Herb Garden,
Austin Green Classroom

  Local mosaic artist James Talbot visits Blue Moon to teach his signature technique.


Learn how to create durable sculptural objects, functional or non-functional, using ferrocement.  You'll learn the basics of making a steel armature, covering it with plasterer's lath, mixing mortar, plastering, and finishing.  You will end up with a finished, weatherproof, durable object or sculpture up to 2' in height and/or width.

  

Basic tools and materials will be supplied, although it will be helpful to bring both leather and heavy latex/rubber gloves, long sleeves, pliers, sponges, mason's trowels, & any light steel you have

  

You will be emailed homework to complete before the class.

   

 
"Your Essential Magnificence"

 

 Ferrocement sculpture makes a perfect base for mosaics, and if there's enough interest, there will be a follow-up class on 3 dimensional mosaics.
