Class description

Düsseldorf carnival cart artist Jacques Tilly teaches the art of building figures and carnival floats in the “Figure Making Workshop”. The entire construction process is shown from A to Z, from design to the last brush stroke. A particular focus is on sculptural work with galvanized wire mesh.

 

Further content of the course:

  • true-to-scale design drawing
  • sculptural design of car walls
  • Building a full plastic
  • Laminating techniques
  • weatherproof coating techniques
  • Paint with a spray gun.

During the weekend seminar, each participant builds a complete carnival figure under guidance. No previous artistic experience is required, we start from scratch (but improve colossally from there).
