It’s Mango Time: Sculpt a Fruit with Jeff Ocasio

Learn to create a charming, free-standing mango sculpture with a playful style using masking tape as a sculpting medium. This fruit character sculpting class welcomes students of all artistic levels, whether you’re a beginner looking to explore your creativity or an experienced artist wanting to experiment with a new medium.

Jeff’s teaching style is relaxed, conversational, and encourages everyone’s individual creativity. You will learn the techniques of how to layer and manipulate the tape to achieve the desired shape and texture using masking tape, paper, wire, and glass marbles for the eyes.

At the end of the class, you’ll take home your distinctive standing fruit, reflecting the charm of contemporary folk art. You’ll also receive an instructional handout to help you seal and paint your artwork using easy-to-find materials.

The class kicks off with a short tour of the ocasiocasa art studio, along with other artists’ studios within DAAS CO-OP Gallery and The Union Artist Studios at the Arts & Eats Café.
