April 13 Workshop

Kay Wells will be teaching the 2nd half of a project spanning March and April.  The March workshop addressed faux marbleizing and the April workshop will cover battenburg lace and nervous roses on the box.
April Workshop Prep & Needed Supplies
 
Supplies
 
  • Surface of your choice.  Any type of box whether wood or papier mache will work.  If you select a papier mache surface, I suggest sealing it inside and out ahead of class.
  • Box colors – 2 colors of your choice.  A lighter color for the base of the box and a much darker value for the floats.  
  • Lace color – suggest a light color such as Buttermilk or Dove Grey.  You may want to use the same color used to base coat the marble top.
 
Prep
 
  • Base coat the box in the lighter of the 2 colors you have selected.
  • Transfer the lace pattern.
