Driven to Abstraction

I did a design workshop that allowed people to delve into their imaginations. Participants learned about abstract art and its roots in early civilizations, quilt making and abstract expressionism. We then used Scratchboard, a medium that allows for the removal of material in order to create spectacular pieces. The board is covered in clay that is removed with a pen that looks like a fountain pen which has a nib on it. The clay is literally scratched off of the posterboard under coating. It is a medium that has a great deal of potential.
