DESCRIPTION:

Tori West has been using Creative Paperclay modeling material for more than 20 years and during this time she has developed a wide variety of methods using molds and forms. The material itself can be used to create molds as well, and lends itself to being draped or sculpted over forms. This versatility offers great advantages in creating all types of miniatures. In this series of 3 instructional videos, you will learn about some of the mold making material Tori has used including wax, modeling clay, polymer clay, silicone, latex, plastic and more. The list of material she has used as forms and armatures would be equally extensive if not more so.

This class will consist of three comprehensive instructional videos on some of the methods and materials Tori uses, along with her explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each. Students will learn about working with this clay, and how to use molds, forms and combinations of those to create fantasy structures, architectural trim, hollow objects and more - including Tori's "signature" staircases used on her fantasy pieces. Just a few of the items using these techniques are shown in the photos. Students will also receive complete instructions for making a “spooky tree” as shown, from start to finish.
