Skins and Skeletons with Mo Kelman
In this experimental workshop, students will learn lashing and chaotic weaving methods for building skeletal structures with rattan and bamboo. On these frameworks, explore methods for building skins with rice papers, pigmented and unpigmented gut, and recycled netting. Paintable graphite, acrylics, shellac and Japanese suminagashi marbleizing will further modify membrane surfaces and structures. A series of guided exercises will prompt students to invent unique, original sculptural forms.
