Crafting "Enhanced Vessels"

Clifford Ward
is artist-in-residence at
THE STUDIOS OF KEY WEST.
He works with plaster cloth
and gave a half-day workshop in the technique.
"Instant gratification" was heard several times
this morning.
Balloons are wed to plastic and paper bases
with two layers of the wet plaster-coated strips.
You can fold and twist it for textures.
Next it will get a finish coat of gesso
and a paint job.
