Getting Plastered With Ellie 2023!
Have You Wanted To Learn The Art Of Plaster Relief Or Improve Your Skills? But...you just can't get to my studio or don't think you have the time?
Join me for my 2023 online program, Getting Plastered With Ellie, I’ll share 12 plaster relief projects with you (plus a bonus secret one!), each month throughout the year.
Sculpted Pinecones
Heron In Flight
Octopus and Bubbles
Contemporary Mixed Media
So Many options!
Create One Unique Piece Each Month For 12 Months
In this year long program, I’ll teach you how to create beautiful Bas Relief (plaster relief) art pieces on a smaller scale (most will be 11″x14″), working your way up from a simple design to more detailed designs as we move through each project.
Each project will have a unique twist so by the end of the year you’ll have an incredible amount of creative plaster relief skills!
This is a great opportunity to create a body of work!
Gift Them!
If plaster relief is a hobby for you, you can use your pieces either for yourself, or as special gifts for family, and friends.
Add Them To Your Portfolio!
If you are a professional faux finisher or decorative artisan, you can use the pieces as samples for your portfolio, and wow your clients!
Sell Them!
If you are a fine artist and would like to create stunning and unique art pieces, you can sell your pieces at art fairs, in art galleries, or on your own website.
Once You Learn The Techniques, A Whole New World Will Open Up For You!
Plaster relief (or Bas Relief) is an ancient art form dating back thousands of years. There are many examples of ancient Bas Relief found around the world.
Bas Relief is creating a three dimensional art form on a flat surface such as a wood panel (as we will do in these classes), or on surfaces like a wall or cabinet facing. It can be applied both on interiors and exteriors depending on the type of plaster used, and the application process.
Hi! I’m Ellie Ellis!
I am a plaster relief decorative artistan with a specialty is three-dimensional wall sculpting (Bas Relief). I have developed an innovative process for creating and duplicating design elements and blending them in with a unique style of hand sculpted background components. I am also a Certified Master Stencilist (CMS), and trained in Trompe L’oeil, Pompeian and Parisian Fresco, and a host of faux finishes and textures for plasters, concrete, and wood.
I love to teach and I focus on presenting the subject material in a concise and organized manner. Students develop new skills with each class, will finish with a beautiful piece of art each month, and be inspired and excited to create the next piece! All skill levels are welcome whether you are a professional decorative artist, fine artist or hobbyist! See you in class! ~Ellie
“Ellie, the class I took at your studio was one of the absolute best, most creative classes I had the privilege to participate in. Besides being one of the most gracious, caring, loving, wonderful persons on this planet, your instruction, patience, and gift of sharing your art was an experience I will treasure. I couldn’t believe what we were able to learn and accomplish in 3 short days. I can’t wait to use my new skills out in the real world..it is a fascinating, addicting and beautiful medium and there are endless ways to incorporate this into my business. I would gladly take many more classes from you and I look forward to the next one. Anyone and everyone should consider this class as something incredible to learn..even if you think you could never carve and create something, you will be amazed at how easily Ellie walks you through the process, and the masterpiece you will go home with!”
