Class Experience

In this unique class, you'll learn how to make a 3D fashion figure from the aluminum foil found in your kitchen! Your aluminum foil figure can be posed and you'll learn how to make clothes and accessories that describe its personality. You can be bold and dramatic with how you dress your figure.

First class:
All classes start with a face to face greeting. During demonstrations, I will turn my camera, so that you can view my hands and the materials. I will show you how to measure, cut and manipulate the foil into the shape of a person. The feet of the figure will be glued to the cardboard so that it stands. Next, you'll start making the clothing. I will demonstrate how to make clothing with tissue paper. First I'll show photos that take you through the process and then I'll demonstrate the steps as you view my hands. Everyone will share their ideas of how they want to clothe their figure and I'll give suggestions and guidance on how to achieve the desired end result.

Second class:
At the start of the class, we'll discuss how can you make clothes and accessories that describe who the figure is and its personality. The remainder of the class will be spent making clothes and accessories using tissue paper, glue, paint and markers. We'll end our time together by sharing what we've created.

This class involves problem solving. Due to the nature of the online classroom, your learner should have the skills and patience to work independently with guidance from me. 

I never cancel classes due to low enrollment. However, I will email you to let you know if your learner is the only one, in case they are uncomfortable with a one-on-one class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I live south of Boston, MA with my husband, two boys and a dog and cat. I own a mobile art studio called Pop up Art School. I’ve taught after-school enrichment and hundreds of art workshops in public libraries, for eight years, to ages preschool to teens, and I taught art in a small private school for grades K to 8. I am certified to teach Visual Arts in the state of Massachusetts. I also teach Outschool classes through Pop up Art School.

My artistic background is in sculpture. When I was a teenager, I apprenticed with a studio jeweler for five years and I have a BFA in Ceramics. I love art that has form and texture. I have experience with a variety of sculptural materials: found objects, air dry clay, celluclay, polymer clay, needle felting, cardboard construction, glass on glass mosaics and mixed media collage. 

I teach a variety of 2-D and 3-D lessons, but 3-D lessons are my favorite to teach. Building with materials is a sensory experience that children and teens respond to with enthusiasm. Three-dimensional art lessons enable a student to expand their problem-solving skills because they must consider gravity when building something that will stand and be viewed from all sides. It's a joy to teach children and teens how to use their creativity in new ways.

I enjoy exploring art and natural history museums, taking walks with my family and dog, and I relax by practicing tai chi.
