Back Jacket Description
Simulate the time worn surfaces of ancient artifacts using
easy-to-learn photo copy transfer and etching techniques onto polymer
clays, the clays that “cure” right in your home oven. You
will learn a faux enameling technique demonstrated on an old Japanese
stencil design, and simulate etching on ancient stone using acrylic
paints. Use the clay collage technique to make petroglyph images, and
learn an oil-based etching technique to imitate Japanese woodcut designs.
Gwen Gibson, an international artist and instructor, is renown for her
ability to make things look old. Gwen will also show you where to find
resources for rock art, traditional Japanese, Chinese and Egyptian images
that you can use for your projects. Make distinctive jewelry pieces
and treasured gifts that you and your friends will treasure.
