Class Experience

Make 3 Halloween figures from something I guarantee you have in your house: toilet paper! Making sculptures with toilet paper is cheap, easy and there's no goopy mess like traditional papier-mâché. In this class, we will build forms using aluminum foil, toilet paper and paint them using acrylic paint.After taking this class your learner will have all the skills necessary to make their own toilet paper papier-mâché figures!

I'll start the first class with a face-to-face introduction and ask each student to introduce themselves. If your learner is uncomfortable with speaking they can send me a message in chat and I will skip over them.

Next, I will turn my second camera to my hands and table, then I spotlight my video, so learners can follow along while I demonstrate how to make the sculpture.

After the second and third classes, learners will need to apply a base coat of paint to their sculptures before the next class.

Week one
Make a candy corn. 

Week two:
This week we will make a ghost and paint the dried candy corn.
Homework: Paint the ghost white before the next class.

Week three:
Paint face on ghost and make black cat face. 
Homework: Paint cat face black

Week four:
We'll start the class by practicing different ways to draw and paint the cat face on paper. Next, we'll paint the features on the sculpted cat face.

If you have any questions about the class or materials before you register, please send me a message and I'll be happy to help.

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.
