Handmade Detroit and Friends

Written by:

 header_bg.jpg

Simply put, Handmade Detroit is a loose collective for people who like to make stuff.

Fancily put, we believe in the unique value of handmade goods, the act of creation and good old community building. We believe that anyone in Detroit who hems a pair of pants, knits a gift for a friend or sells their handmade goods is helping to redefine sustainability, consumerism and the future of our city.

Golden Acrylic : Lecture/ Demonstration

Written by:
geoffh

Saturday, May 3rd : 2-4pm

Join Us for an In-Store Lecture/ Demonstration with:

Golden Working Artist: Valerie Allen

collage2.jpg

  This talk is filled with “need to know” information for artists of all skill levels. With the benefit of visual examples, hands-on samples of products and explanations on the science of paint, you will spend an informative, fast-paced hour and a half, expanding your knowledge of acrylic paints.
You will learn more about:
• Mineral and Modern Pigments –Color theory that relates to clean color mixing, glazing and creation of new colors.
• The difference between “heavy body” and “fluid” acrylics.
• Using innovative effects with interference and iridescent colors to expand your palette.
• Discovering how acrylics can simulate oil, watercolor, even encaustic techniques, yet are infinitely more versatile.
Plus much more information on gels, mediums and grounds to help you make the decisions you need to use acrylics to express your artistic vision. All participants will receive free product samples and a literature packet, including hand-painted color charts.

Here are a few examples of Valerie Allen’s work.  To see more visit http://valerieallen.artroof.com/
