Join us at Jennifer Clinard's studio for a weekend of mixed media papier mache play.
Beloved of window dressers, costumers, set designers, party planners, and puppeteers, Papier Maché is a versatile, low tech, affordable, and simple way to capture a form, a shape, a figure. We have streamlined the process and made it archival. Maché is an ideal way to experiment with jumping scale and we will encourage participants to try working in a variety of sizes, from tiny to larger than life.
This weekend will cover everything you need to know to start working:
Casting found forms
Creating your own forms
Incorporating found objects
Surface Decoration
Finishing
Limited to only 8 participants!
Beginners and serious artists alike will find approaches to energize and expand their work.

Jennifer Clinard's Studio
Jennifer has a delightful large studio just west of Tallahassee Community College right off west Pensacola Street.
There is room for ten artists to work comfortably in this space. |
What to Expect
We provide a wealth of images to open your imagination, and a forum for sharing ideas. We will provide a wide range of paper mache objects for your inspiration.
Our sessions combine one on one and small group coaching with class projects, exercises and critiques. Studios are open for work 9:30 AM to 6 PM. Instruction is provided 10:00AM - 12:30PM and 1:30 PM - 4PM though we are available throughout for consultation. We provide handouts on many techniques.
A tremendous resource for all of us is the great wealth of experience and imagination that each participant brings. This is a weekend of immersion with others who treasure their time making art.
Below are two photos of Jennifer Clinard's Studio at 652 Blountstown Highway and some paper mache pieces created by the Oiseaux Sisters. Hope to see you there!
