Mike Sieving
CAN
Teach Girls
It’s
my pleasure to introduce a few of the instructors from the April 23 – 26, 2015
Artistic Figures in Cloth & Clay convention. The event is held every other year. The 23rd of April is kicked off of the 3 day
event. This extravaganza is designed for
art doll artist and enthusiast. The workshops are chosen with much care. Each instructor has their own style and
appeal. One thing I am very particular
about is to make sure there is something for everyone. Each class is unique with plenty of
techniques for students to add to their bag of tricks.
This next class is no exception. It is not
clay and it is not cloth. It is
something that we all need to learn the basics of. How build, use tools and how to use a rotary
tools. This one tool can drill, sand, slice and dice. It can carve and burrow. Mike is going to have his students build this
stage. After the project your world
opens up to building platforms, alters, stages and arena to show case your art
projects
Girls
Can Can is all made from wood. This
workshop has a double meaning. Las
Vegas girls are doing the Can Can! The
true meaning is Girls Can Can use
tools you only need to be shown how.
This is why we have invited Mike Sieving to AFICC to teach a one day
class for those that want to become comfortable with simple rotary tools. If you are like me you have to find something
that fits your need in which can be adapted to a platform. That is until I just bit the bullet and
learned how to use my Dremel tools. Mike
is all about putting you at easy. He grew
up using tools. By the time you finish
cutting, sanding and shaping your project you will say Gee Whiz what was so
intimidating about that.
