Join instructor Myles Blackwood for a fun, creative workshop to create a chair, throne or bench for your garden, patio or porch. Each workshop begins with a demonstration and individual practice at using Darjit for sculpturing details or creating a substrate for further chair/bench enhancement with mosaics. Next, the techniques for creating the skeletal forms for your chair/bench/throne are demonstrated. Aside from using a plastic garden seat, or bench, wire netting and steel-bars are typically used to strengthen and enhance their shapes with Darjit! A wide variety of effects can be achieved with Darjit, including embedded mosaic patterns, impressed patterns, textured finishes and hand crafted fine details. Myles Blackwood will be available to help each participant with technique and construction approaches for their individual design. If you have an interest in creating a unique and fun seat for your favorite garden area, this workshop will take you through the steps to complete a touch of your own sense of what it means to sit in style.
