Of all the characters in The Wizard of Oz, Tin Man was always my favorite with his gentle heart so beautifully belied by his hard, rusty exterior.
In this class, students bring a porcelain doll head and hands of their liking, and create their very own tin man.
Instruction is given in altering the doll head with texturizing spray paints, two-part resin clay, metallic surfacing agents, torch techniques, and the application of chemical patinas as well as various sheet metal fabrication techniques which will include slip-rolling, punching, cutting, drilling, cold-connection hardware, as well as basic torching & altering of copper & brass with torches & patina.
A $20 supply fee includes: wooden base, brass & copper sheet metal, all-thread, hardware, chain, metallic surfacing paints, patina, copper wire, two-part resin clay, copper pipe, spray texturizers, and a tin heart (of course).
*If you have dietary restrictions, you are welcome to bring your lunch. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the premises.
