Your tutor
is Brent Sumner, who has been creating sculptures, including sculptured architectural
work, performance art pieces, vertical garden sculptures, mosaic furniture and
wood fired ovens for more than 10 years. He has run workshops in both New Zealand
and California, and is a resident of New Zealand.
If
you have an interest in creating a feature for your garden or courtyard, or you
would like to learn more about using Darjit!,
you may like to attend one of our sculpture workshops, or alternatively, host
one in your area. |
The
Workshops
The workshops are designed to be creative and fun events in
which participants are able to create and complete a sculpture of their own design.
Each workshop
begins with a demonstration and individual practise at using Darjit! for
free-form sculpture. Next, the techniques for creating the skeletal forms for
large sculpture are demonstrated. Wire netting and steel bars are typically used
for skeletal forms, which can also be made from recycled material such as buckets
and old furniture. |  |
| A
wide variety of effects can be achieved with Darjit!, including embedded
mosaic patterns, impressed patterns, textured finishes and hand crafted fine details.
Brent will be available to assist each participant with technique and
construction approaches for their individual design. Participants can come with
a project in mind or be spontaneously inspired.
