These were made at a workshop taught by Jenny Knot of Rosco, Inc. at UM in Missoula, hosted by Alessia Carpocca. We explored the use of the coating products and were challenged to create different projects with shop junque. The biggest challenge was to assemble a Steampunk item.

I was charged with building the Book of Life for our production of Angels in America Part 1. For this project I primarily used Rosco Crystal Gel to adhere the materials to the surrounding frame and to create a flame retardant barrier between the head source and the material. the entirety of each section was them cover in Chrystal Gell to ensure stab-ability and create the clear sheen we wanted.

This project is the floor for the Williamstown Theatre Festival 2014 production of The Visit. Designed by Scott Pask, Scenic Charge-Keeley Dorwart

For Polovtsian Dances, designer Joe Tilford rendered a digitally distorted impasto painting on scrim with a range of hues including fluorescent red. After a sampling everything I could think of, I found that to get this specific vibrancy of red on scrim I had to use Supersat Brilliant Red, with dye layered on the peaks. The rest is all Supersats and Iddings. A header also appeared during the piece with primitive ink drawings of symbols and figures that echoed the choreography.

Foot light Shells - Chicago
Detroit Country Day School
Vacuum formed shells were purchased and prepped for process.
Step 1. Shells are coated with a layer of crystal gel allowed to dry.
Step 2. Shells are base coated with Rosco Off Broadway Antique Gold
Step 3. Shells are then scumbled lightly with a mixture of Aztec Gold Mica powder and Crystal gel.
Step 4. Shadowing painted in shell scallops with Rosco super saturated purple toned down with velour black.
Step 5. Dusted with Krylon Black enamel spray paint.

These examples are from a painting workshop lead by Jenny Knott at Solano College. The class painted color wheels learning about the 6 primary colors in ROSCO paint. Next they learned about how far to thin paint and still have color.Lastly the students applied the process by painting a panel. 2nd day the class learned about the ROSCO Texture products then had a hands on lab working with each. There is a class shot during the texture workshop and some foam rocks/bricks made by using foam coat.

A combination of foams with a wooden armature. I used rosco flex glue and small applications of rosco crystal gel as a hardening agent for the leaves.

We first tried to find the easiest way to make these patterns on the ottomans and trunks, and decided that using pure wood and wood staining them to the according colors would help us create the effect we wanted the most. We began graphing the images on to the ottomans and trunks, and begin wood staining them slowly but surely, in order to ensure the finished product looked smooth and well done. It took a total of about 3 weeks to paint all of the ottomans and trunks, with about 3 people working on them daily.
