'Pâpier Maché Creatures'
with James C. Cochrane.

Monday to Saturday

Learn how to make whimsical, amusing creatures – a caricature of your favourite animal maybe, captured in pâpier maché. The week will start with a simple wall mounted relief during which time students will develop the skills of shaping the carcase, layering the paper with PVA glue, painting & varnishing & applying any final individualizing decoration. Then comes the moment to create 3-dimensional creatures….dogs, cats….or even a Tyrannosaurus Rex…. The choice is yours!
JAMES C. COCHRANE studied for an Honours Degree in Theatre Design at Central St. Martins School of Art in London, after taking a Foundation Course at Brookes University. He has diversified into a variety of artwork including theatre, illustration, and papier mache. He now works as a freelance artist & illustrator from his home in Oxford, but papier mache animals, particularly dogs, have become a speciality. He sells his creations in galleries across the country & through commissions.
