Join me for a hands-on workshop where I’ll guide you through the art of sculpting with concrete. Together, we’ll create a multi-functional planter that can also serve as a vase or pen holder—something beautiful and useful that you make from scratch.
In this two-session class, I’ll show you how to build a custom mold using chipboard and foam tape to design a unique decorative pattern. Then we’ll dive into mixing concrete, using a classic blend of cement, sand, gravel, and water. Once our mix is ready, we’ll pour it into the molds and let it set into shape.
A week later, we’ll come back together to open the molds, refine the surface with sandpaper, and finish the piece with a matte varnish for that final polished touch. No prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity and a curiosity to explore this amazing material!

Join me on Zoom for Torn Paper Portrait, a two-part online workshop where I’ll guide you through my signature collage technique. In the first session, we’ll work in black and white, learning how to break an image into light and shadow using torn paper. In the second, we’ll bring in color and depth, applying the same method to create a more dimensional portrait. Whether you’re new to collage or looking to deepen your skills, this is a chance to explore form, contrast, and layering in a fresh, hands-on way.
