Making Cards with Shellac and Pigments

All materials will be supplied to make five cards. 

and each participant will take away 2 x 30ml jars of artist-quality pigment.

We will be using dry artist pigments and there will be a demonstration of stage dyes. Stage dyes are exceptionally strong and need careful handling hence demonstration only.

There is a minimum of four participants for this class to go ahead. 

Marc’s Background

Marc has a background in film and theater though he was originally a scientist at the UK Ministry of Defence. He started as a gopher at Shepperton Studios before eventually working his way to art director. In those days we worked extensively with distemper, vinyl, casein and emulsion paints. He art directed Maxwell Tapes and Turkish Delight  both directed by Howard Guard, which won eight awards.

Around 2010 he took up photography and filming, eventually focussing on helicopter operations. He’s worked with pilots throughout New Zealand, Alaska and the Canadian Arctic providing experiences resetting what is happening between the viewer and the subject.
