| Description: |
A demonstration workshop offering you ideas for creating a water-based surface suitable for bisque and high-fired sculpture, using Old Fashioned Milk Paint.
As an alternative to glazing, Milk Paint, made from milk protein, is gaining wide usage by artists, because its ingredients are natural and will not harm the environment.
Demonstrating on her newest work, “Cio-Cio San & Dolore” from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly from her Opera Series, Alice Simpson will share techniques she has developed.
