I offer workshops, one-on-one and group instruction in a variety of topics. Most instruction is geared for teens and adults but it can be modified for younger children too. I can instruct from my home studio, at ArtSplash Gallery in Carmel, Indiana and/or on location. I have on-the-job experience with special needs children and have done art projects with special needs groups and individuals through Noble of Indiana, Outside The Box and Best Buddies of Indiana. I also present workshops and demonstrations for art clubs, libraries, schools and other groups. Dates, times and cost for instruction vary according to content and group size.

Industrial Art Duo
Not one but TWO art projects in one day! We will start and finish the day working on our concrete creations! You can choose if you’d like to create that work on one large wood panel or several smaller ones. Then, using various tools (and most likely your fingers!) you’ll make marks, lines, texture – or even embed items – on the surface. Once you’ve satisfied your yearnings to texture concrete, it’s time for metal! To begin that project you will select different pieces and layout the design for your metal wall sculpture (approximately 12″ x 18″) as the concrete dries. You’ll get instructions on how to prep the metal materials and then Mark will work his welding magic to construct it for you. After it has cooled from the welding process it can be spray painted, wrapped in wire or further embellished in a variety of ways. Although we have quite a selection of parts and metal to choose from you are welcome to bring in any items you’d like to include in your sculpture and we will help you find a way to incorporate it. At some point there will be lunch and snack breaks as well, keeping you busy until your wood panel is ready for more attention. Finishing the concrete artwork includes sealing it and then covering it with layers of acrylic, adding, subtracting and blending until it makes you smile. That could be just one or two layer, or many, many more!
Gloves will be provided for the concrete work plus there are gloves and safety glasses available for you to use when working with the metal. Although not necessarily needed for the concrete work you will need to bring a long sleeve shirt, long pants and full cover shoes when working in the shop creating your sculpture. Most work will be done outdoors. Bottled water and afternoon snacks are provided, please pack a sack lunch for your noon meal. Detailed information and a release form will be emailed to you once you have signed up. Be prepared to get dirty and happy during this creative day!
This is a full-day (7-8 hours) outdoor workshop that is recommended for the fall & spring. Cost: $145 per person, which includes all materials & instruction for creating two unique pieces of art (if you wish to bring a spouse, family member or friend to collaborate with the fee for creating both pieces is $175 per couple.) There is a minimum of 2/maximum 8 participants.

Mandala Art: An Introduction
Loosely translated mandala means "circle." These repetitive patterns are found in nature (biology, geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy).

Making a mandala is a very soothing process that can be enjoyed by anyone. Here are some blog posts/sample images for you to look at: Mandala Art and More Mandalas (and an endorsement!)
