With spices and resin you can paint and experiment with combinations and contrasts. In the liquid resin, using a wooden stick as a brush, a pinch of coloring powder such as curry, red pepper or charcoal creates effects and stains reminiscent of contemporary art
A walk in the forest can inspire us to create.
Olga collected wild garlic leaves (which in Hungarian is called Medvehagyma - bear onion) and placed them in the mold. "It was my first time using resin and I wanted to start with something simple," she said. Natural traces under resin always have a surprising charm!
PLAYING
with
LIGHT
Working with unknown materials always begins with a game of exploration which often helps to recover one's artistic and cultural background. Inspired by Calder's mobile sculptures, a small game of balances can be built.
Working with metal wire opens up infinite creative possibilities.
If you don't know who to start you can follow Pete's example: starting from a simple shape like a spiral and adding small elements a little at a time, letting yourself be guided by the materials.
You can also get inspiration from animals or simple shapes to create something with wire and beads. Working with stop motion is a funny way to bring our creations to life and share stories with others.
