The Hollow Toad
The Hollow Toad
The Hollow Toad is a quaint pub right on the edge of a busy part of Bristol, and has long been a favorite place to enjoy a quiet pint and chat with old friends.
In this two-day class, you will use a pre-built box, rig the interior lighting and create a faux wattle and daub timbered exterior. A solid wooden door, aged and weathered, stands beneath a shingled overhang. Moss, age, dampness, and weather have conspired to make this pub look as old as it is, and you will apply various techniques to the window frames, walls, all timbers and other outside objects to create these effects. You will use Paperclay to create all brickwork, alter and install the windows, and attach the exterior lamp and flower boxes. All levels welcome. All tools and supplies provided. The finished pub scene is surrounded by a mahogany frame. The exterior of the box is a crackled brown. The box size is approximately 8 x 8 inches, and 4 deep (20 x 20 x 10 cm), slightly larger with the frame attached.
For students flying from distant locations who want to ship their completed box home, please let me know ahead of time if you need a box for shipping.
