Create a bold, museum-inspired art piece using layered textures, dramatic color, and metallic finishes. This mixed media workshop is perfect for anyone looking for something a little different—artful, modern, and slightly unexpected.
Participants will design a striking insect specimen-style plaque, similar to the piece shown, using pre-cast molds and a rich painting technique that highlights every intricate detail.
