Collage-Decorated Owl in Papier Mâché

This is a chance to create a gorgeous Papier Mâché Owl decorated with collage in a style of your own design, that you can easily complete at home if needed. Join Papier Mâché artist Sarah Baqai to create this beauty - the species is of your choice (real or imagined), but the scale of the will be standing around 20cm tall. You will learn how to construct this sculptural piece without the need for an armature (apart from the feet), using only paper and masking tape. Complete your piece using a collaged paper layer - this means there's no need for painting or drying time, so all can be finished on the day. Finally, add the glass teddy bear eyes and your creation will come alive! Prior to the workshop, you should have a good look at some owls. Decide what sort of owl you might want to make - naturalistic or more abstract in form. Consider the collage decoration - would you like him or her to be covered naturalistically or with a more imaginatinative pattern or colour. If you have papers or magazines at home that fit the style of colour scheme of the collage layer, bring them along. There is a materials cost £5 payable on the day for this workshop.
