As you all may have read in the previous post, we attended ECU's 4th Annual Material Topics metals symposium. This year's group of artists including workshop leaders and presenters were of a different breed than those of the years past. Jillian Moore, much like the other artists, is known for being a masterful metalsmith as well as a mixed media maven! In her three hour long workshop, she told us all her deep dark secrets about working with resin and pigments to achieve an other worldly wearable. We were pleasantly surprised with how much more there was to be learned about resin since we've worked with it some in the past. One of the most interesting things about her work is lightweight quality is possesses while totally fooling the eye. Most of her forms are created by layering resin and pigments around a foam base to provide structure but avoid excess weight. Jillian has an incredible imagination and her work is fantasy come to life. Below are the links to her etsy shop, where you can buy all her beautiful things, and her website, where you can check out her amazing work and bio! As always, thanks for reading and for participating in our giveaway!
