The GNSI-NW board is pleased to present the opportunity for members to take part in a very special workshop on building scale model maquette references. This same workshop was a rousing success at this year’s GNSI Conference in Santa Cruz. The day-long workshop is hosted by Reid Psaltis, an illustrator from Portland, OR and a graduate of the Science Illustration program at California State University Monterey Bay. After an internship at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Reid developed a method for sculpting maquettes, scale models of a subject to be used as reference for illustration. Made from plastaline clay atop a metal armature these small models are an extremely helpful tool in visualizing tricky subject matter.
Registration is required for the workshop so that the need for supplies can be anticipated. Please email jennifer@jbatesart.com for more info.
If you are already registered, please take note of the following items you need to bring on workshop day: 1) workshop fee in the form of cash or check, 2) a packed lunch to be eaten during a short lunch break as we will not be supplying food, 3) at least 1 printout of your chosen maquette animal’s skeleton that is at least 8 inches long, and more printouts of the animal’s musculature and fur/feathers/etc. We use these references as the base foundation of the maquette, so it’s very important to come prepared with these printouts at the size specified.
The workshop is being held at the Swedish Cultural Center in Westlake, Seattle, and there is ample free parking available in two lots adjacent to the building.
