Sketch to Sculpture: Talk and Demo at OSA

Chas Martin

I can talk about my thought process when creating sculptures. But it’s more fun and more informative to actually demonstrate the process with my hands on the materials. That’s the plan for Friday Fun at Oregon Society of Artists on July 30, 2021 from 6:00-8:00pm. It’s part of their Friday Fun series. It’s outdoors in their parking lot. Drinks and snacks provided. Plan to get there early. Space is limited.

I’ll explain my constant transition between 2- to 3-dimension as I create and solve problems in the process of building a sculpture. I will have multiple examples of materials and works in progress. I’ll have things everyone can touch, explore and manipulate. I’ll be showing how I get from simple 4x6” sketches to full size patterns, then to a steel wire armature and finally a sculpture.

The 2-hour talk/demo will be interactive, fun and hopefully enlightening. The techniques I share are the same that I include in my upcoming sculpture classes at OSA in the fall. It will be a 7-week series of 2-hour sessions. I’ll post more info when the fall class catalog is published.
