African Elephant

Description

Kathy Flanagan

Rozet – Lokaal 3.14

Thursday-Friday 19.-20. October 09.00 – 17.00

Intermediate

Workshop Description: There are plenty of ways to tool an elephant on leather, but do you know how to make one look realistic? Let Kathy help you with this. With Kathy, you will learn how to emboss an African bull elephant, cut certain parts to create a more three-dimensional appearance, and how to tool the skin for more realism. Color will be applied once the tooling is finished, and you will walk away with a complete 8” x 10” picture, ready for framing. This workshop may take a few extra hours in order not to feel rushed, and if so, may run into the evening hours on one or both days.

Materials to bring: Stamping surface, mallet, stylus, modeling spoon, swivel knife, strop, smooth pear shaders, smooth bevelers, smooth and checkered matting tools, scalpel with #11 blade, palette knife or large modeling spoon, round paint brushes – #0 to #6, weight to hold leather, and a ball modeler.

Workshop Instructor: When she was very young, Kathy started her leathercraft career as a 4-H project, not knowing what it would lead to many years later. She has become the recipient of prestigious awards, such as the coveted Al Stohlman Award and Master Leather Artisan of the Year from the Academy of Western Artists. Figure carving has become her primary focus, and she is determined to share everything she has learned.

Workshop Sponsors: Hermann Oak Leather Co., Renia GmbH, and Tandy Leather
