Atelier Arenas at Rancho Flor del Cerro

Far too many sculptors come to a dead stop because making sculpture isn’t easy or cheap and then stops being fun. It can get hard really fast when you’re paying a foundry, or unable to pay for firings. That’s one of my reasons for elevating paper mache to a fine art form. This method is an innovative, inexpensive, durable, lightweight, technique of laminating paper into plaster molds. I hope it helps you to continue loving the process of making sculptures. And, I hope you enjoy the scenes of our dogs, and our Rancho in Mexico where we work, with a window onto Mexican life for an immigrant. These videos are about our lives here in Mexico, and my work in the studio. Sculpture by Diane Louise van der Zanden at Atelier Arenas on Rancho Flor del Cerro in Colima Mexico. Check out my sculpture, mold making and paper mache playlists for more videos from me and other artists.
