KCPCG Spring Workshop with Maureen Carlson

Spinning in Place

Create a playful spinning accent piece which works both as a piece of art and as a decision maker. “Now, which direction should we go? Both, I say! This project idea initially started with a class that I took with Pier Voulkos. With her permission I present it here for you to enjoy, as I did, and do!” This project is all about shapes and design. How do we make it a functional spinner as well as make it beautiful? Those are the ideas that we'll explore in this class, as well, of course, the basic sculpting of hands, faces and shoes. Fun. Creative!! Maureen
