Workshop Description
In this exciting new workshop, come and learn how to create and build tree of life sculptures with clay—Àrbol de la vida. Learn the various traditional design styles and how they are put together. We will look at the work of Veronica Castillo (shown here) and other Metepec artists from Mexico. We’ll learn traditional and non-traditional methods of construction and decoration with various clays, and glazing and painting applications and materials. We’ll look at options for attaching decorations before glazing and painting, or after. Your tree of life can be for the table top or for a wall hanging and you’ll learn wall hanging methods. Materials included What to bring? For bringing your tree home, please bring a ware board approximately 18” x 15”; bubble wrap or foam cushioning. Bring your favorite clay working tools, and any imagery reference materials you want to work from related to Adam and Eve, flowers, plants, fruit, angels, birds, etc, or other imagery you want to make your tree about.

Her artwork takes more of a whimsical outcome, often referencing Mezo American history, exploring the varying relationships between popular culture and fine art. This integration can be seen in her Tree of Life clay sculptures. Creating and constructing Tree of Life Sculptures has been a passion of hers. While she uses a variety of materials and processes in her various sculptural projects, and is presently working primarily in clay, her approach to working in a series is consistent. Each project often consists of multiple related works, in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work. She can be reached by email at: [email protected] Questions? Contact Liz Lauter [email protected] |
