¿Como son nuestras clases de manualidades?

What are our craft classes like?

What don't we do in craft classes? Well, we do so many things that you will have to stop for a while to read this writing. , The first thing that the student has to take into account in your craft classes is that she comes to learn and have a pleasant time in a space suitable for that purpose. In addition to the help of the teacher and her knowledge, it also provides you with a workplace where you can do your work without disturbing your family environment. No more using the kitchen or cluttering the living room. It will be two hours a week for yourself. DSC_0548_1 We recommend that you visit us quietly before starting your craft classes to choose the type of work or technique you want to do. We have a lot of material in store that will open up the possibilities, and there are times when it is difficult to choose. It is convenient to come a little while before starting to take a look at the papers, paints, templates, that we continually receive to have a wide range of choice. We have an online store with a large part of the material that we have in store, it is a good tool to be able to see the papers or templates that we have in peace and do a little planning. There are times when the material is out of stock in the store, but we can always order it for you and have it ready for the next class. Concha, Marimar and I are there to help you. DSC_0551_1 In our craft classes we offer our students the possibility of choosing the technique they want to use at all times. To begin with, we recommend that you start two jobs at the same time. Cast? How? Well yes. It makes perfect sense, we don't want you to waste time waiting for the paint to dry. When you paint you have to be very careful not to touch the freshly painted part so as not to lift the paint. So we recommend that you do something and let it dry quietly. Well, let's go to what techniques you can learn with our teachers; Our instructors are prepared for war, well that is to say, but they are prepared for many techniques, if not all of them, since new techniques and new materials are always coming out. They are also continually recycled with suppliers. They bring us their works to continually inspire us. In your classes you will be able to carry out painting work on wood where you will be able to apply multiple techniques such as wood aging, paint cracking or varnish cracking. We will teach you to differentiate them and control cracking. We will use oil paintings to finish off and we will use many products in a logical and creative way. We will use dyes with colored glazes. Various effects such as Splinting on wood. We can make transfers and transparency with decoupage paper. Pickled, the gouache technique with acrylic paint or watercolor effects. We will learn the techniques of templates or stencils, ways to achieve folds, volume or blurring. Among the applications that we can learn about is the possibility of incorporating aluminum cladding into furniture with reliefs, including stucco control with its colored patina and glazes. We will use dyes, patina waxes to achieve different finishes and effects. Rendering, oxidation, In crafts, we do not stop with wood. Fabric painting is also included, which is still very attractive due to its number of applicable techniques. With the wide range of paints on the market that provide us with different finishes such as suede, glitter, liners, sublimation, transparent and opaque paints, the possibilities are endless. Let's not forget painting on glass, techniques for making fake Tiffany, effects with specialized paints that will allow you to make very different plates and trays. The use of double component resins for glass effects. Works with tesserae and techniques mixed with false tesserae. Embossed with sheets of tin, aluminium, copper, brass. We as a center, do the impossible to please our students. We want to be your escape point. We want you to be at home, comfortable and calm. I think it's worth the try. DSC_0289 1 (2)
