Join Marti McGinnis, an accomplished artist in many media for a three-day paper mache workshop in San Miguel de Allende. Marti will teach you how to create your own paper mache sculpture using advanced steps that allow for more intriqute detail, and interesting finishes. Bring a sense of creative inquiry and get ready to experiment with some of the more advanced techniques of paper mache!

NOTE: participants can bring an unfinished sculpture from their Level 1 workshop, or another paper mache armature begun at home to work on in these sessions. Please email your intentions advance.

You do not have to have completed the Level 1 workshop to join this class, but you should be able to demonstrate a working knowledge of paper mache basics. A photo of a completed piece can be emailed in with your inquiry.

THE PROMISE: Participants will create their own sculpture (about 12” tall) using traditional and advanced paper mache techniques.
​
THE EXPERIENCE:
• Tips on how to plan a sculpture
• Demonstration of armature creation
• Hands on measuring and mixing the paper mache medium
• Hands on understanding and practice on how to create a secure armature using easily obtained media.
