Multi-Media Sculpture: Experiments in Various Approaches with Milton Teichman

Thanks to the generosity of Milton Teichman, this workshop includes a free membership to Non-members and a discounted enrollment price for Members! In this workshop we will experiment with various approaches to making multi-media sculpture.  We will use a range of materials--from the most ordinary (wire, wood, found objects) to the more uncommon (string, fabric, metal foil, Styrofoam).  We will attempt to incorporate print or handwriting into our assemblages.  We will learn some basic things about abstract design to help us compose our sculpture.  We will be inspired by the traditions of Modernism.  We will enjoy ourselves.  If folks have questions, they can call the museum or Milton directly at 508-896-2395.

Milton Teichman, born in 1930 in New York City, is a retired professor of English who has had a parallel career as painter and sculptor.  He is now celebrating fifty five years of consistent work in both painting and sculpture.  Teichman lived in New York’s Hudson Valley for many years and moved to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1999 where he opened the Teichman Gallery in the town of Brewster to show his work.  In New York State, he studied with Max Schnitzler, Evelyn Fisher, William Pachner, and Ati Johansen.  On the Cape, he has studied with Joan Pereira, Paul Bowen and Jim Peters.  In Mexico, where he spends winters, he has studied with bronze sculptors Jesus Mendez and  Mario Rangel, and ceramic sculptor Francisco Contreras.

Teichman has exhibited extensively in New York State, with one-person shows at Bennett College, 1975, and Marist College, 1980, 1990.  On the Cape, he has appeared frequently in juried shows of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.  In the fall of 2004, he was Artist in Residence at Cape Cod Community College and presented a retrospective of forty-two years of painting and sculpture. In the winter of 2012, he had a one-person show of painting and sculpture at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. He presented a one-person show of ceramic sculpture and painting at the Cahoon Museum in Mashpee in the spring of 2013. His work appears in many private collections. A bronze sculpture entitled “We are One” was purchased by the Mashpee Public Library in 2011 and is displayed in the library lobby.  Currently Milton Teichman has an exhibition at the Cpae Cod Museum of Art titled A Life in Art: Modernism, Mexico, Cape Cod; Sculpture and Painting by Milton Teichman
