In this fast-paced workshop, students will practice on either turned objects or flat work. Sharon will demonstrate texturing, burning and painting on all surfaces of the objects. Students are encouraged to bring small turned boxes or bowls to embellish. The best pieces for flat work are boards or shallow boxes. For turned boxes, the best shapes are tear drops, spheres, or oblongs (sketches are available). Sharon will show how to carve away sections of objects to create asymmetry in the profile of turned boxes and bowls. Participants will use both rotary and reciprocating carvers for both texturing and carving. Sharon will demonstrate how to use woodburners for both line drawing and texturing. Students will learn to finish their work by using both milk and acrylic paints. She will also demonstrate how to use texture paste and will have some available for students to use.
