April 9, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
1-day class fee: $65 / $52 annual donors Supply fee: $10 per student payable to instructor for all supplies provided.
This class welcomes artists of all levels, from beginners eager to explore their artistic abilities to experienced artists seeking to embrace a playful and whimsical artistic approach where they will learn the basics of sculpting with masking tape.
Jeff’s teaching style is relaxed, conversational, and the class is limited to only eight students for personalized attention. Join us for one or more sessions for a creative experience of masking tape sculpting, learning new techniques and transforming simple materials into works of art.
By the end of each class, you’ll walk away with your very own unique sculpture, embodying the simplicity and joy of folk art, and an instructional handout on how to seal and paint your sculpture at home with easy-to-find materials.
A Bee Class: Immerse yourself in the art of sculpting a charming bumble bee, capturing its cuteness and character. All workshops begin with a glass bottle project, allowing Jeff to go over the basic techniques of sculpting with masking tape and give students the opportunity to create a free-style sculpted design on the bottles that can later be displayed as a bud vase. Afterwards, all will be guided through the process of creating free-standing bee sculptures using masking tape, paper, wire, and large glass marbles for the eyes. Bee sculptures stand approximately 5 inches tall and 6 inches long from teeth to stinger.
The class will meet at 900 Dunlop Road, Sanibel.
