UPCOMING EVENTS
Art from Zimbabwe receives
worldwide acclaim. Newsweek hailed it as "perhaps the most important new
art form to emerge from Africa in this Century." The New York Times stated
that it “has become a wholly indigenous modern art form created exclusively as
a forum of artistic expression." Collen Nyanhongo is a member of the most
celebrated family of stone sculptors and at a young age learned from his well known father, Claude, founding
member of the Zimbabwe Sculpture movement. Collen blends traditional into
transcendental metaphorical expression. His work has been honored in Zimbabwe,
France Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Holland, England, Switzerland, Germany,
South Africa and the United States. Eldorado Springs Art Center will
be hosting an exhibition of Collen’s stone carvings from Oct 1 through Oct 10th.
Stone Carving Workshops with Collen Nyanhongo Session 1 Oct 2,3,9,10 9am – 4pm $300 Session 2 Oct 5- 8 9am- 4pm $300 There will be material fee for
each session. To enroll please contact ESAC at info@eldoradospringsartcenter.com or call 303 378 0454 Teaching and sharing his
intimate relationship to stone and the sculpting process, Collen will help you
discover the delight of conversing with your own stone and allowing it to
emerge into an image that both you and the stone create. Working mostly with
hand tools students will learn the intricacies of stone carving. We will be
carving Springstone a beautiful stone brought from Zimbabwe. This class will be geared from beginner to expert and
students will be able to leave with their own sculpture. Once you meet Collen you will trust, revel

See a video of our most recent iron pour:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL4qiqN6Vlg
Learn to process and create
your own cast iron sculpture in this two part workshop at the Eldorado
Springs Art Center. You will learn the complete process to making
a sculpture in iron including; creating a resin bonded sand mold, pouring
melted iron.
Resin Bonded Sand Mold Workshop
This workshop will go over
step by step how to make a simple mold which will later be used in the
iron cast. The mold is created by mixing sand with resin and then
compacting it around your sculpture. Once the resin dries the
sand becomes a solid piece that is resistant to the heat of molten metal.
There is a material fee of $2.00 per 10lbs of sand used.
Objects that work best for sand molds are simple in shape and have volume. Things like fruit, baseballs, light bulbs, and bottles work well and of course your sculpture. We recommend you bring in several objects you would like to try to cast and we can figure out what would work best.
