Rumpelstiltskin, by Mike Kenny
Imagination Stage, 2014
The show called for a rustic style dishware. I took several existing metal and plastic bowls, etc. and coated them in Sculpt or Coat mixed thickly with sand. The earthenware was painted with acrylics and sealed with a polycrylic.
The bread came from a loaf already in stock that was shaped in order to fit into one of the pans. A slice was cut out of it for the action of the play.
