Inspired Forms: Sculptural Heart
During my two decades teaching mosaic workshops, I have realized that many of my students want to work on sculptural forms, but have trouble finding the the forms to work on. Many are not interested in spending the time or money required to create their own forms. I get it!
There is something about a finished, curvy, smooth form that is very attractive. I love working on these kinds of sculptural forms, but I do not love making them. I want to do the mosaic part!
If I have a form already made, ready to go and my materials around me, my inspiration and creative fire are not held up…I can just go for it, immersing myself in the making.
I love that feeling.
This is what inspired me to work with a sculptor to create a custom line of pre-made forms for mosaic, launching Inspired Forms: Sculptural forms ready to mosaic — no mess, no fuss. Professionally finished with attached, custom stand. For indoor or outdoor display.
Inspired Forms are created using a proprietary method, and in limited runs.
