Christi Friesen is starting her 2019 European tour from Cyprus in May 2019! So if you are interested in twisting and cranking your creative disorders with her, start getting ready!!
The Creative Adventure begins on Friday, 17th of May with a Creative Juices Tour at the Kourion archaeological site. We can study the mosaics at the house of Eustolios and get our creative juices running for Christi’s Mosaics workshop. Speaking of juices, we could also have some fun visiting a winery at Omodos village to taste some Cypriot vinos and a local tavern for some Cypriot treats!!
[The day will be finalised depending on the number of participants – additional fees may apply*]
Saturday, the 18th of May the adventure continues and we dive into the deep with a full day of Christi teaching her incredible class on Polymer and Mixed Media Mosaic Explorations.
And on the final day Sunday, 19th of May we will delve in the bizarre and creative world of Christi’s Artful Vessels.
At nights we will get all adventurous and excited for outings in the city of Limassol and enjoy the lovely atmosphere of the old town, the local cuisine and have lots of fun!
Class descriptions:
Polymer & Mixed Media Mosaic exploration
In this workshop we will explore creating sculptural mosaics from polymer clay and incorporating those elements into a more traditional mosaic setting. You will create basic forms from polymer and cover it with hand-cut tiles made from polymer sheets and veneers. You will play with textures, surface treatments and other tricks to make your sculptural form intricate and sophisticated. You will combine the sculptural form with a mosaic composition where you will learn about substrates and adhesives and all the many things that can be added to make a rich and varied mixed media design.
- This workshop is open to all skill levels.
- Most materials will be provided.
Artful Vessels
In this workshop we will explore creating art vessels from polymer clay using bases and armatures. You will learn how to create forms and extensions to add interest to your vibrant and original art vessel. Emphasis will be on design and form-building as well as creating clay blends, using surface treatments and textural elements as well as adding beads and other embellishments. You will combine sculptural techniques and decoration tricks to create a unique art piece.
- This workshop is open to all skill levels.
- Most materials will be provided.
For any additional tools or materials that might be needed you will be notified in advance.
Location
If you have not visited Cyprus yet, then this is your chance to see the island of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and fertility… An island that has literally risen from the depths of the sea just like its goddess who protects it. A Mediterranean gem to many kings’ and queen’s crowns throughout its long history…
Limasol is the second biggest city on the island located on the southern coast. Known since the ancient times as the kingdom of Amathous. Located very near to Kolossi village, which is known as the place where the crusader knights had their commanding post and the ancient city of Kourion.
Be prepared to see a city full of diverse images of the old and the new combined! A city where the party runs through the blood of the inhabitants and the carnival is celebrated there as nowhere else on the island. A place where the Cypriot Filoxenia [filos=friend +xenos=foreigner] (hospitality) is evident and the cuisine is thriving!
The workshop will take place at the newly renovated Pefkos City Hotel in Limasol, Cyprus and at very good prices too!
