In this workshop we will take a look into some of the early process artist Brian Smith uses as he conceptualizes his sculptures that are frequently beaded, wrapped, or surfaced in other repetitive heavy texture processes. For many of his works, the surfacing can take months to complete, so this workshop will be a peek behind the curtain of the more fast-paced/exciting process of maquette building and problem solving that Brian uses as a map before beginning the longer-term projects. Please note that this class uses Apoxie putty which may not be suitable for younger children.

This class is free and open to the public and all materials will be provided. Registration required. Max Capacity 10 Attendees. 

Brian Smith (b.1994) is a Maine based artist who works in sculpture, painting, and drawing. Through meticulous surface treatments, his work utilizes queer ecological theory to challenge traditional views of nature as separate from human society. Smith received his BFA in Sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and an MFA from Maine College of Art & Design. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions across New England and nationally, including recent exhibition, “As We Are,” at the Portland Museum of Art.
