Outdoor sculptures

Spring is officially here, the sun has broken through the clouds from this morning, and we just received our shipment of PAVERPOL!

Some reasons you might want to investigate this medium:

Paverpol was developed by Dutch artists as a user-friendly replacement for resin. 

Dip fabrics into Paverpol, drape or wrap the material around a wire figure or other armature and leave it to dry. Paverpol dries fast, but slowly enough to allow plenty of open working time. 

Paverpol adheres to almost all materials, except plastic. And unlike most hardeners, it does NOT deteriorate polystyrene foam.  We stock the transparent Paverpol, which can be used with colored fabrics or pigmented with any of our powdered pigments.  

Here's one new tip I just discovered:

"Except for the 250 ml squeeze-top bottle, Paverpol is concentrated. According to the materials used and desired strength, it can be diluted with no more than 1/4 cup of water per 500 grams. This will increase the viscosity, ease of use and extend the volume of product without affecting final hardness."

After it has hardened, you have created a unique decoration or sculpture, which can be used indoors or outdoors.

Visit the Paverpol Gallery for some ideas HERE

Whether it’s an old family photo or a piece of old lace; we’ve all felt the presence of someone long gone when we encounter their things - the imprint they leave behind after possessing an object for a long period of time. These objects once had owners. They were bought and sold, made and broken. Some of them were kept and treasured, while others were forgotten in attics.

Each has a story to tell. This workshop will teach you the basics needed to construct a box assemblage that speaks the ghost stories of the past.

Materials list available upon registration.

This workshop will have you gluing, cutting, painting and tearing up old books to create 3 dimensional works of art.We will break all rules set into place by librarians and school teachers who told you books were meant to be kept on shelves. This class will offer you a space to freely develop your own personal narrative with found objects; transforming ordinary pages of text into something mythical and profound, using something as simple as an old book as your base. We will bravely enter into creative new territories in this process oriented class.

If you'd like to see what these wonderful pieces of art look like, feel free to come into the store, we have two samples here at Artists' Mediums Inc.
Materials List available upon sign up.
