About this Class

Students will learn ALL about miniature hollow forms in this workshop. The possibilities are endless; each participant will have the chance to create a variety of different forms of all shapes and sizes; focusing on tool control and how to get a consistent wall thickness. Participants will be encouraged to try some texturing using rotary tools, wire brushes, and coloring with ink and gilding waxes. The workshop will also cover different uses of mini hollow forms, including but not limited to Christmas ornaments, teapots, and boxes. Laurent will also share techniques to make a multi-axis drop, which, together with a mini hollow form, creates his signature piece “Ploc.”
