This workshop introduces the art of paper mache. In this class we will construct ornaments using cardboard, newspaper, glue and paint. Templates for gingerbread houses, stockings, mittens and more will be provided but participants can freestyle with their own ideas. We will construct and paper mache our houses and then prime, paint and seal the final product. Lastly we will attach the ornament hooks and they're ready to be hung on your tree!

These objects have become an extension of her painting practice. Polly received her M.F.A. in Painting from Pratt Institute and her B.A. in History from University of Massachusetts. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and art fairs around the country and internationally in Brazil, Spain and London.
